DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Knews Multilingual
Newsletters plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change sender's e-mail if a
logged-in administrative user visits a malicious web site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2.5. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.6.
