Vulnerability Overview

The TextBuilder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions 1.0.0 to 1.1.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'handleToken' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update a user's authorization token via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Once the token is updated, an attacker can update the user's password and email address.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 1.2.0, 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.
