## Description

The WP Photo Album Plus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 9.3.04.001 due to missing nonce validation on the photo and comment removal branches of the front-end AJAX 'remove' action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete photos and comments via a forged request, provided they can trick a logged-in user who is allowed to delete photos or moderate comments into performing an action such as clicking a link.
