Description

The My Category Order plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.3 due to missing nonce validation. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser granted they can trick a site's administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
