WidgetPack Comment System <= 1.6.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery

Vulnerability Description

The WidgetPack Comment System plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the wpcmt_sync action in the wpcmt_request_handler function.
