Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

The bbPress Login Register Links On Forum Topic Pages plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.7.5. This is due to missing nonce validation on the bbPressCustomMenu(), tomas_bbPressLoginAdminBar(), tomas_bbPressCustomLoginRedirect(), and tomas_bbPressCustomLoginLinks() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify 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 2.8.5, 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.
