DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Developer Formatter 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 proper validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change plugin configuration
settings and subsequently conduct script insertion attacks when a
logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web page.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2012.0.1.39. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
No official solution is currently available.
