Title
Scratch & Win – Giveaways and Contests <= 2.7.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery via reset_installation Function
Summary
The Scratch & Win – Giveaways and Contests. Boost subscribers, traffic, repeat visits, referrals, sales and more plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.1. This is due to missing nonce validation on the reset_installation() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the plugin’s installation via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
