Vulnerability Overview

The sitepress-multilingual-cms (WPML) plugin before 4.3.7 for WordPress has CSRF due to a loose comparison. This leads to remote code execution in includes/class-wp-installer.php via a series of requests that leverage unintended comparisons of integers to strings.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 4.3.7, 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.
