Vulnerability Overview

The WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request forgery in versions up to, and including 3.6.4, due to the CSV importer actions missing a nonce validation. This makes it possible for attackers with at least author privileges to embed script code in a CSV, upload it to the target site, and then trick an administrator into uploading the CSV injected payload to a product description via a forged request all granted they can trick them into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.6.5, 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.
