Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.19%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

The WP Social AutoConnect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.6.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
