Advisory

Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Bob Matyas.

The WP Affiliate Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to 6.5.1 (exclusive). This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the profile update functionality. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update profiles via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
