Vulnerability Overview

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in bluewrench-video-widget.php in the Blue Wrench Video Widget plugin before 2.0.0 for WordPress allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that embed arbitrary URLs via the bw_url parameter in the bw-videos page to wp-admin/admin.php, allowing the injection of arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.0.0, 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.
