Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Insert PHP Code Snippet plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3.6

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation in the "/admin/snippets.php" file, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to activate, deactivate, and delete code snippets via a forged request. This can be achieved if an attacker can trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.3.6, update to a version that includes the fix for the missing or incorrect nonce validation issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "/admin/snippets.php" file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
