Description

The LWS Tools plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.3.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on 'lws_tk_create_page' function and several AJAX actions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the database prefix, modify plugin settings, delete comments, and perform other actions via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
