NOTE: the vendor reportedly disputes the significance of this issue because wp_create_nonce operates as intended, even if it is arguably inconsistent with certain CSRF protection details advocated by external organizations." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "http://www.webapp-security.com/2012/04/wordpress-3-3-1-multiple-csrf-vulnerabilities", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "http://www.webapp-security.com/2012/04/wordpress-3-3-1-multiple-csrf-vulnerabilities" }, { "name": "18791", "refsource": "EXPLOIT-DB", "url": "http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/18791" }, { "name": "http://www.webapp-security.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Wordpress-3.3.1-Multiple-CSRF-Vulnerabilities6.txt", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "http://www.webapp-security.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Wordpress-3.3.1-Multiple-CSRF-Vulnerabilities6.txt" }, { "name": "53280", "refsource": "BID", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/53280" } ] } }
