CVE-2026-8424

The Remove Yellow BGBOX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'rybb_api_settings' page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the plugin's stored settings by overwriting its configuration via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Summary		(es) El plugin Remove Yellow BGBOX para WordPress es vulnerable a la falsificación de petición en sitios cruzados en todas las versiones hasta la 1.0, inclusive. Esto se debe a la validación de nonce faltante o incorrecta en la página 'rybb_api_settings'. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados restablezcan la configuración almacenada del plugin sobrescribiendo su configuración 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.
