Vulnerability Overview

An issue was discovered in the pricing-table-by-supsystic plugin before 1.8.2 for WordPress. It allows CSRF.

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 Pricing Table by Supsystic <= 1.8.1 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 Pricing Table by Supsystic the fix is 1.8.2: builds <= 1.8.1 are affected, anything from 1.8.2 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.8.2, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to Pricing Table by Supsystic: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Pricing Table by Supsystic 1.8.2 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
