CVE-2020-36738

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Cool Timeline (Horizontal & Vertical Timeline) plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.0.2

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ctl save() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to save field icons via a forged request if they can trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.0.2, consider disabling the ctl save() function until a patch is available to prevent exploitation. Restrict access to the plugin's functionality to minimize the risk of forged requests.
