Until an official fix is available, administrators should exercise caution with links and actions performed by site administrators related to this plugin. Monitoring for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security advisories is recommended.

Description

The Top Bar Notification plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.12. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on th tbn_ajax_add() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings and inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
