WP Frontend Profile <= 1.2.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery
Strategic Overview
Vulnerability Overview
The WP Frontend Profile plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation in the wpfep_save_password() function found in the 'wp-frontend-profile/functions/save-fields.php' file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the passwords of other users 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 1.2.2, 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.
