Vulnerability Overview

The following plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery: a3 Lazy Load (<= 2.6.0), Contact Us Page – Contact People (<= 3.6.1), a3 Portfolio (<= 3.0.1), Dynamic Product Gallery for WooCommerce (3.0.1), a3 Responsive Slider (<= 2.2.0), Compare Products for WooCommerce (<= 2.8.2), Products Quick View for WooCommerce (<= 2.0.1), Product Sort and Display for WooCommerce (<= 2.2.2), Product Widget Slider for WooCommerce (), WP Email Template (<= 2.6.2). This is due to missing nonce validation on the reset_settings() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to reset the plugin's settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.0.2, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)) The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
