Description
The MathJax LaTeX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions before 1.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the mathjax_plugin_options function. This may make it possible for unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily change plugin settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
