At a glance

CVE-2022-46797 is a medium-severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Conversios WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 5.2.3. 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 5.2.4; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed February 2023, reported by Muhammad Daffa.

Vulnerability Overview

The All-in-one Google Analytics, Pixels and Product Feed Manager for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 5.2.3. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on multiple functions like tvc_call_add_customer_feedback. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make a user with higher privileges perform unintended actions such as adding customer feedback, 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 Conversios <= 5.2.3 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 Conversios the fix is 5.2.4: builds <= 5.2.3 are affected, anything from 5.2.4 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 5.2.4, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to Conversios: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Conversios 5.2.4 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
