Until a fix is available, administrators of multisite WordPress instances using this plugin should consider disabling the plugin or restricting access to trusted users only. Additionally, educating administrators to avoid clicking on untrusted links can reduce risk.
Description
The WPFront User Role Editor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the whitelist_options() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the default role option that can be leveraged for privilege escalation via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This is only exploitable on multisite instances.
