Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Link Shield plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 0.5.4

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the link shield menu options() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to update settings and inject malicious web scripts via a forged request if they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 0.5.4, update to version 0.5.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the link shield menu options() function until a patch is available.
