Overview

The MStore API plugin for WordPress (versions up to 3.9.6) contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified as CVE-2023-3202. The vulnerability exists in the mstoreupdatefirebaseserverkey function due to missing nonce validation, which was discovered and disclosed in July 2023 (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 4.3 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N (Wordfence).

Impact

If exploited, this vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to modify the firebase server key used for push notifications. The impact is limited but could affect the notification system's functionality when order statuses change (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

The vulnerability has been patched in newer versions of the plugin. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 3.9.6 to protect against this vulnerability. The fix includes proper nonce validation implementation for the affected function (NVD).
