- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 4.0.1
- Published: 2022-08-01 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- Unknown Featured Image from URL (FIFU): fixed in 4.0.1

## Description

The Featured Image from URL (FIFU) WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack. Furthermore, due to the lack of validation, sanitisation and escaping in some of them, it could also lead to Stored XSS issues
