Vulnerability Overview

The Feed Them Social plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 3.0.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the following functions: fts_maybe_set_transient, fts_check_nag_get, feed_them_settings, social_follow_button, fts_facebook_page_form, fts_twitter_form, fts_instagram_form, fts_youtube_form, and fts_pinterest_form. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke those functions via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 4.0.0, 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.
