Vulnerability Overview

The MailChimp Forms by MailMunch plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 3.1.7. This is due to missing nonce validation on several of the plugin's functions, such as delete_email(), delete_widget(), change_email_status(), and settings_page(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete widgets and change or delete arbitrary email subscriber records 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 3.1.8, 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.
