Visitor Traffic Real Time Statistics <= 2.13 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Arbitrary Plugin Installation/Activation
Strategic Overview
<= 2.13N/AVulnerability Overview
The Visitor Traffic Real Time Statistics Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 2.13. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'cp_plugins_do_button_job_later_callback' AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install and activate other plugins 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 3.1, 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.
