Vulnerability Overview

The Product Feed PRO for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 12.4.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the update_project function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update projects via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site.

CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Reaching this weakness in Product Feed PRO for WooCommerce by AdTribes <= 12.4.0 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Cross-site request forgery abuses the fact that browsers attach a victim's cookies to any request, so a state-changing action that only checks who you are, not whether you meant to act, can be triggered from another site.

An attacker who gets a logged-in user to load a crafted page can perform that action as them, with the impact scaling to whatever the victim's role is allowed to do. For Product Feed PRO for WooCommerce by AdTribes the fix is 12.4.1: builds <= 12.4.0 are affected, anything from 12.4.1 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 12.4.1, or a newer patched version
