Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the HMS Testimonials plugin before 2.0.11 for WordPress allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) add new testimonials via the hms-testimonials-addnew page, (2) add new groups via the hms-testimonials-addnewgroup page, (3) change default settings via the hms-testimonials-settings page, (4) change advanced settings via the hms-testimonials-settings-advanced page, (5) change custom fields settings via the hms-testimonials-settings-fields page, or (6) change template settings via the hms-testimonials-templates-new page to wp-admin/admin.php.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old WordPress plugin issue. If an administrator is logged in, a malicious site could trick their browser into making unwanted HMS Testimonials changes, such as adding testimonials or changing plugin settings. The source bundle identifies affected versions as before 2.0.11. Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with the HMS Testimonials plugin installed below version 2.0.11. The issue matters most where administrators browse while authenticated to WordPress. Treat this as a targeted hygiene fix, not an emergency based on current evidence. Prioritize remediation if the plugin is still installed, internet-facing, or used by administrators with broad WordPress privileges. Mitigation focus: Upgrade HMS Testimonials to version 2.0.11 or later.; If upgrade is not possible, disable or remove the plugin.; Review vendor changelog and current plugin guidance..
