Summary
The Quran Gateway plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.5. This is due to missing nonce validation in the quran_gateway_options function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's display settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
