Vulnerability Overview
The Extra Product Options Builder for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.104. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the DontShowAgain() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to dismiss notices via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site.
CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Extra Product Options Builder for WooCommerce <= 1.2.104 carries this weakness at DontShowAgain(), and reaching it takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Cross-site request forgery abuses the fact that browsers attach a victim's cookies to any request, so a state-changing action that only checks who you are, not whether you meant to act, can be triggered from another site.
An attacker who gets a logged-in user to load a crafted page can perform that action as them, with the impact scaling to whatever the victim's role is allowed to do. For Extra Product Options Builder for WooCommerce the fix is 1.2.105: builds <= 1.2.104 are affected, anything from 1.2.105 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.2.105, or a newer patched version
