WP Docs <= 1.9.8 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to folder management
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The WP Docs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.9.8. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the functions wpdocs_create_folder, wpdocs_update_folder, and wpdocs_delete_folder. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create, rename and delete folders maintained by the plugin 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 1.9.9, 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.
