Summary

The MainWP Child Reports plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability that affects all versions up to and including 2.2.

As a result, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this flaw to modify arbitrary options on multisite instances of WordPress.
