Low risk6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Games Catalog plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in versions up to and including 1.2.0. Missing nonce validation in the gc_crud() function for the delete action via GET request allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary game catalog entries (including associated WordPress posts) via a forged request, provided they trick an administrator into clicking a link.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can permanently delete game catalog entries and associated content, leading to data loss and site disruption.
Recommendation
Update the plugin to a version with proper nonce validation. If unavailable, consider temporarily disabling the plugin.
Original NVD description (English source)
The Games Catalog plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the gc_crud() function which handles the delete action (action=delete) via a GET request without any wp_verify_nonce() / check_admin_referer() call. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary game catalog entries (including the associated WordPress post created for the game) via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
