Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is released, administrators should be cautious about clicking on untrusted links while logged into WordPress admin interfaces and consider restricting administrative access or using additional security plugins that provide CSRF protections.

Description

The Pocket News Generator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 0.2.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the option_page() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
