Summary

A vulnerability was discovered in the Real-Time Find and Replace plugin for WordPress, affecting versions prior to 4.0.2. The issue lies in the far_options_page function, which fails to implement proper nonce verification. This oversight allows attackers to forge requests on behalf of an administrator.
