Official description
The Bigfishgames Syndicate plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the bigfishgames_syndicate_submenu() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset plugin settings and update them via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
