Vulnerability Overview

The Admin Management Xtended WordPress plugin before 2.4.5 does not have CSRF checks in some of its AJAX actions, allowing attackers to make a logged users with the right capabilities to call them. This can lead to changes in post status (draft, published), slug, post date, comment status (enabled, disabled) and more.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.4.5, 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.
