Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Shield Security – Smart Bot Blocking & Intrusion Prevention Security plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 19.1.13

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the exec function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to disable pin protection for the admin interface of the plugin via a forged request, provided they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 19.1.13, update to a version that includes the fix for the missing or incorrect nonce validation on the exec function to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the admin interface to minimize the risk of exploitation.
