Featured Image from URL < 4.0.0 - Arbitrary Settings Update to Stored XSS via CSRF

Vulnerability Description

The Featured Image from URL (FIFU) WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack.
