What is CVE-2023-1068?

The Download Read More Excerpt Link plugin for WordPress is affected by a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability in versions up to 1.6.0. A lack of adequate nonce validation in the read_more_excerpt_link_menu_options() function allows attackers to exploit this vulnerability. By sending forged requests, an unauthenticated attacker could manipulate plugin settings if they successfully trick an administrator into taking an action, such as clicking on a malicious link. This could lead to unauthorized changes that may compromise the integrity of the WordPress site.

Affected Version(s)
