Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence.
The BuddyBuilder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.7.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation when saving settings through the handle_settings_request() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change plugin settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
