CVE	CVE-2014-4717

Publicly Published	June 26, 2014
Last Updated	January 27, 2023
Researcher	Duncan Stuart - DXW Security

Description

The Simple Share Buttons Adder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.4. This is due to missing nonce validation on simple-share-buttons-adder page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts via the 'ssba_share_text' parameter through a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
