Injection Guard <= 1.2.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery via ig_update
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The Injection Guard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to a missing nonce check on the ig_update functions in versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make changes to IP block- and allowlists via a forged request granted they can trick an admin into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Technical Analysis
REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.2.2, 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.
