Hide Admin Bar Based On User Roles < 3.1.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery
Strategic Overview
< 3.1.0N/AVulnerability Overview
The Hide Admin Bar Based On User Roles plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions before 3.1.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the save_user_roles function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to arbitrarily change plugin settings 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 3.1.0, 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.
