Summary

The PopAd plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the PopAd_reset_cookie_time function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset cookie time settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
