The Colorful Categories WordPress plugin was not properly protecting its users before version 2.0.15. This meant that someone with malicious intent could trick a logged in admin or editor of a WordPress website into making changes to the color of the website’s taxonomy (or categories) without their knowledge. This type of attack is called a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF).
