All In One WP Security & Firewall <= 5.1.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery
Strategic Overview
<= 5.1.0CVE-2022-44737Vulnerability Overview
The All In One WP Security & Firewall plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 5.1.0. This is due to incorrect nonce validation on the functions 'render_login_whitelist', 'render_rename_login', 'render_honeypot' functions and possible others. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform bulk actions on the plugin's list tables (such as deleting blocked IP entries) via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. These actions would be restricted by manipulating entries by database ID, not by other fields (such as IP address).
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.1.1, 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.
