WP Fast Cache <= 1.4 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Cross-Site Scripting
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The WP Fast Cache plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.4. This is due to the 'wp_fast_cache_bulk_action_url' variable not being sanitized or escapes. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain otherwise restricted access to administrative actions and perform subsequent Cross-Site Scripting attacks 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 1.5, 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.
