## Description

The Patreon WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.10.0 due to missing nonce validation in the saveAttachmentLevel() handler of the 'patreon_save_attachment_patreon_level' AJAX action used by the image locking feature. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the Patreon pledge level required to view any attachment, locking or unlocking patron-only images, via a forged request, provided they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking a link.
