Published Jan 24, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in WPPlugin LLC Accept Donations with PayPal & Stripe before 1.3.4 allows attackers to delete arbitrary blog posts. The admin orders deletion handler accepts an attacker-chosen post identifier without validating a WordPress nonce or confirming that the referenced post belongs to the plugin.
