Redirect Redirection <= 1.1.4 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Plugin De-Installation
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The Redirect Redirection plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.1.4. This is due to missing nonce validation on the uninstall() function called via an admin_post hook. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to uninstall the plugin 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 1.1.5, 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.
