It carries a CVSS score of 8.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires no authentication.

Vulnerability Overview

The Ecwid Ecommerce Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 6.10.23. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ecwid_update_plugin_params function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update plugin options 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. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.

CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Reaching this weakness in Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart <= 6.10.23 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 Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart the fix is 6.10.24: builds <= 6.10.23 are affected, anything from 6.10.24 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 6.10.24, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Ecwid by Lightspeed Ecommerce Shopping Cart 6.10.24 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
