miniOrange's Google Authenticator <= 5.6.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Malware Scan Termination
Strategic Overview
<= 5.6.1N/AVulnerability Overview
The miniOrange's Google Authenticator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 5.6.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the mo_wpns_stop_scan function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to terminate malware scans, via 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 5.6.2, 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.
