Vulnerability Overview

The Csomagpontok és szállítási címkék WooCommerce hez plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.9.0.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on several functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke those functions ranging from import to label generation, via 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. 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 Csomagpontok és Címkék WooCommerce-hez <= 1.9.0.2 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 Csomagpontok és Címkék WooCommerce-hez the fix is 1.9.0.3: builds <= 1.9.0.2 are affected, anything from 1.9.0.3 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.9.0.3, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?
