Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MainWP Child Reports plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.2

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the network options action() function, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary options. This can be leveraged for privilege escalation via a forged request if an attacker can trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link. The issue is only exploitable on multisite instances.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.2, consider disabling the network options action() function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the plugin's functionality on multisite instances to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the plugin on multisite instances until the issue is resolved.
