WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WP Like Button < 1.6.4 - Auth Bypass

Description

Authentication Bypass vulnerability in the WP Like Button (Free) plugin
version 1.6.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to change the settings of
the plugin. The contains() function in wp_like_button.php did not check if
the current request is made by an authorized user, thus allowing any
unauthenticated user to successfully update the settings of the plugin.

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 1.6.4
