WordFence is giving a Critical Warning about this plugin and recommends removing:

“The Side Cart Woocommerce (Ajax) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on one of its functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke this function, via forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.”

Any news on fixing?

@ljezard, there is already such a topic on the plugin support forum, check it if you’re interested.

I don’t know how it is marked as a critical security issue.

As per their detection, the following situation will result in a hack

1) You’re logged in as an admin
2) Someone makes you visit this specific link
http://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=side-cart-woocommerce-settings&reset=yes

=> The consequence of this will be your side cart settings will get reset which is basically what “reset button” does now.

Still I will issue a patch tomorrow.
