Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Disable Auto Updates plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.4

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'disable-auto-updates' page, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to disable all auto updates 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, 1.4, consider disabling the 'disable-auto-updates' page until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the 'disable-auto-updates' page to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the page until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
