Vulnerability Overview

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the HMS Testimonials plugin before 2.0.11 for WordPress allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) add new testimonials via the hms-testimonials-addnew page, (2) add new groups via the hms-testimonials-addnewgroup page, (3) change default settings via the hms-testimonials-settings page, (4) change advanced settings via the hms-testimonials-settings-advanced page, (5) change custom fields settings via the hms-testimonials-settings-fields page, or (6) change template settings via the hms-testimonials-templates-new page to wp-admin/admin.php.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 2.0.11, 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.
