Description

The GDPR Cookie Compliance plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 4.12.4. This is due to missing nonce validation in the /views/moove/admin/settings/licence.php file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update and deactivate the plugin's license via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
