VM Menu Reorder plugin vulnerability

What happened

The VM Menu Reorder plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the vm_set_to_default function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset all menu reordering settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Affected versions

VM Menu Reorder plugin: 0 through 1.0.0 (semver) Fixed: See vendor advisory.
