Status: Closed 2026-05-14

Deactivate and delete it once you have a replacement (Plugins → Deactivate → Delete). Deleting removes its files; deactivating alone leaves them on the server.
If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in Child Height Predictor by Ostheimer (1.3 and older)

Affected: 1.3 and older
Fixed in: unknown
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed; someone on the site has to click a link or open a page
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence

Details from the advisory

The Child Height Predictor by Ostheimer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to and including 1.3. This is due to missing nonce verification in the options() function, which handles plugin settings updates. The form template does not include a wp_nonce_field() call, and the handler never calls check_admin_referer() or wp_verify_nonce(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trick a site administrator into clicking a link or visiting a malicious page that submits a forged POST request, causing unauthorized changes to the plugin settings such as unit preferences to be persisted to the database via update_option().
