Vulnerability Data
The Ultimate Blogroll plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.5.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly requires validation of security tokens such as nonces on all state-changing requests, blocking the forged CSRF actions described in the CVE.
Enforces that every privileged action (settings update, script injection) must be accompanied by a valid authenticated request, preventing the missing-nonce bypass.
Protects session authenticity so that cookie-based credentials cannot be silently reused by an attacker-supplied forged request.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require anti-CSRF controls such as tokens or SameSite attributes.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.
Contextual intelligence about emerging CSRF toolkits can be translated into updated anti-CSRF token or same-site policy configurations across applications.
