# CVE-2021-24466: Verse-O-Matic \<= 4.1.1 - CSRF to Stored XSS

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2021-08-16 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- Unknown Verse-O-Matic: 4.1.1 only

## Description

The Verse-O-Matic WordPress plugin through 4.1.1 does not have any CSRF checks in place, allowing attackers to make logged in administrators do unwanted actions, such as add/edit/delete arbitrary verses and change the settings. Due to the lack of sanitisation in the settings and verses, this could also lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues
