Input validation vulnerability in MathJax-LaTeX 1.2

The MathJax LaTeX plugin for WordPress had a security issue in versions before 1.2. An attacker who could trick a site administrator into clicking a link could have changed the settings of the plugin, without the administrator’s authorization. This was possible because the plugin was missing validation to make sure the request was legitimate.
