Duplicate Post <= 1.4.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery via 'cdp_action_handling' AJAX action
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The Duplicate Post plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.4.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'cdp_action_handling' AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change plugin settings, duplicate posts, and make use of other restricted functionalities 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 1.4.2, 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.
