Ultimate Auction <= 4.0.5 - Cross-Site Request Forgery and Cross-Site Scripting
Strategic Overview
<= 4.0.5N/AVulnerability Overview
The Ultimate Auction plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery and Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 4.0.5. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on several functions and missing sanitization and escaping on several parameters. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain otherwise unauthorized access and perform subsequent attacks such as XSS 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 4.0.6, 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.
