Technical details

The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in versions up to and including 3.35. The vulnerability is caused by missing nonce verification within the bulk action handlers located in the settings tab handlers (specifically within class-mla-settings.php and associated tab classes). An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious request and tricking a site administrator into executing it via social engineering. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to perform bulk delete, edit, or purge operations on plugin settings and attachment metadata. A patch appears to be available in versions following 3.35.
