Vulnerability Overview

The DW Question & Answer Pro WordPress plugin through 1.3.6 does not properly check for Cross-Site Request Forgery in some of its functions, allowing attackers to make logged in users perform unwanted actions, such as update a comment or a question status.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.3.7, 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.
