Vulnerability Overview

The Code Snippets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.4. This is due to missing nonce validation on the cloud snippet download and update actions in the Cloud_Search_List_Table class. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to force logged-in administrators to download or update cloud snippets without their consent via a crafted request, granted they can trick an administrator into visiting a malicious page.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.9.5, 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.
