Vulnerability Overview
The WordPress Events Calendar Plugin – connectDaily plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update settings and inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site.
CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Reaching this weakness in connectDaily Events Calendar Plugin <= 1.5.4 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Cross-site request forgery abuses the fact that browsers attach a victim's cookies to any request, so a state-changing action that only checks who you are, not whether you meant to act, can be triggered from another site.
An attacker who gets a logged-in user to load a crafted page can perform that action as them, with the impact scaling to whatever the victim's role is allowed to do. For connectDaily Events Calendar Plugin the fix is 1.5.5: builds <= 1.5.4 are affected, anything from 1.5.5 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.5.5, or a newer patched version
