Summary		(es) El plugin Chat by Chatwee para WordPress es vulnerable a la falsificación de petición en sitios cruzados en todas las versiones hasta la 2.1.3, inclusive. Esto se debe a la validación de nonce faltante o incorrecta en la página de configuración de administración. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados modifiquen la configuración del plugin a través de una petición falsificada, siempre que puedan engañar a un administrador del sitio para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace.
