Description Preview
The UberMenu plugin for WordPress, developed by SevenSpark, is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in all versions up to and including 3.8.3. This vulnerability is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ubermenu_delete_all_item_settings and ubermenu_reset_settings functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete and reset the plugin's settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Remediation
Users of the UberMenu plugin are advised to update to a version later than 3.8.3 to mitigate this vulnerability. It is also recommended to always verify the source of any links before clicking on them, especially those that lead to administrative actions.
