Summary
The ViewMedica 9 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.15. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'Viewmedica-Admin' page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary SQL queries via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
