Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceA CSRF vulnerability in the Favicon My Blog WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.0.2) allows authenticated administrators to be tricked into submitting malicious requests that inject Stored XSS payloads into the application. The attacker crafts a malicious link or page that, when visited by a logged-in administrator, submits a request to the vulnerable endpoint without the administrator's consent, persisting malicious scripts.
