Input validation vulnerability in RSS News Scroller 2.0.0

The RSS News Scroller plugin for WordPress has a security issue that affects all versions up to 2.0.0. This is because it does not properly check for a code called a “nonce” which helps prevent unauthorized changes. As a result, hackers who are not logged in can change settings and add harmful code to a website if they can trick the website administrator into clicking on a fake link.
