Vulnerability Overview

The Wp EMember plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to 10.7.0 (exclusive). This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'eMember_settings_menu' page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update plugin settings and inject malicious web scripts 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 10.7.0, 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.
