The issue affects all installations of the Oceanwp sticky header plugin up to and including version 1.0.8 (Patchstack).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from the plugin's lack of CSRF protection mechanisms in certain areas, which could enable attackers to force authenticated users to perform unintended actions. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.5 (MEDIUM) by NIST with a vector string of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N, while Patchstack assessed it with a lower CVSS score of 4.3 (LOW) (NVD, WPScan).

Impact

The vulnerability could allow malicious actors to force higher privileged users to execute unwanted actions under their current authentication. The software is considered abandoned as it hasn't received updates for over a year, increasing the potential security risk for continued usage (Patchstack).

Mitigation and workarounds

No official fix is available for this vulnerability. The recommended action is to remove and replace the software with an alternative solution, as the plugin is considered abandoned and unlikely to receive future updates or security fixes (Patchstack).
