At a glance
CVE-2023-48284 is a medium-severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the WebToffee eCommerce Marketing Automation WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.2.7. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 1.2.8; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed November 2023, reported by thiennv.
Vulnerability Overview
The Decorator – WooCommerce Email Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7. This is due to missing nonce validation on several functions such as ajax_reset(), wt_decorator_button_text(), wt_decorator_set_as_default(), and more. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify several settings from the plugin 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)
WebToffee eCommerce Marketing Automation <= 1.2.7 carries this weakness at ajax_reset(), and reaching it 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 WebToffee eCommerce Marketing Automation the fix is 1.2.8: builds <= 1.2.7 are affected, anything from 1.2.8 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.2.8, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to WebToffee eCommerce Marketing Automation: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: WebToffee eCommerce Marketing Automation 1.2.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
