Vulnerability Overview

The Daily Prayer Time plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2023.03.08. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform unauthorized actions such as modifying plugin settings 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 Daily Prayer Time <= 2023.03.08 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 Daily Prayer Time the fix is 2023.03.17: builds <= 2023.03.08 are affected, anything from 2023.03.17 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 2023.03.17, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to Daily Prayer Time: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Daily Prayer Time 2023.03.17 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
