The Admin Management Xtended WordPress plugin (versions before 2.4.5) was identified with a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-1599. The vulnerability was discovered by Daniel Ruf and publicly disclosed on June 20, 2022. The issue affects the plugin's AJAX actions functionality, which lacks proper CSRF protection checks (WPScan).

The vulnerability is classified as a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) with a CVSS score of 4.3 (medium severity) and is mapped to CWE-352. The security flaw exists in the AJAX actions of the plugin, where the absence of CSRF checks allows unauthorized actions to be performed through authenticated users. The vulnerability falls under the OWASP Top 10 category A2: Broken Authentication and Session Management (WPScan).

When exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate various post attributes through authenticated users with appropriate capabilities. The potential changes include altering post status (between draft and published states), modifying post slugs, changing post dates, and toggling comment status (between enabled and disabled) (WPScan).

The vulnerability has been patched in version 2.4.5 of the Admin Management Xtended plugin. Users are advised to update to this version or later to mitigate the security risk (WPScan).
