DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Notices Ticker Plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site request forgery attacks.

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. add a notice if a logged-in
administrative user visits a malicious web site.

Note: This can further be exploited to conduct script insertion
attacks.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
No official solution is currently available.
