Booster (<= 5.6.6), Booster Plus (<= 5.6.5), and Booster Elite (<= 1.1.7) for WooCommerce - Cross-Site Request Forgery leading to Arbitrary Custom Role Creation/Deletion
Strategic Overview
<= 5.6.5CVE-2022-4016Vulnerability Overview
The Booster plugins (Booster, Booster Plus, and Booster Elite) for WordPress are vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 5.6.6 (Booster), 5.6.5 (Plus), and 1.1.7 (Elite). This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on functions such as 'process_actions' and 'get_delete_all_custom_statuses_button'. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create and delete arbitrary custom roles 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 5.6.6, 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.
