Input validation vulnerability in Use Memcached 1.0.5

The Use Memcached WordPress plugin, version 1.0.5 and below, has a security flaw that allows unauthenticated attackers to change its settings. This is because the ‘admin_init’ hook used in the save_settings() function does not have any nonce validation. This means that an attacker can manipulate the settings if they can convince an administrator to click on a link.
