Quantic Social Image Hover vulnerability

What happened

The Quantic Social Image Hover plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.8. This is due to missing nonce validation on the settings update functionality. 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.

Affected versions

Quantic Social Image Hover: 0 through 1.0.8 (semver) Fixed: See vendor advisory.
