WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The GiveWP plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 2.33.3) contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability identified as CVE-2023-4247. The vulnerability stems from missing or incorrect nonce validation in the give_sendwp_disconnect function, which was discovered and reported by Marco Wotschka from Wordfence (Wordfence).

Technical details

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L. The core issue lies in the give_sendwp_disconnect function's implementation, where proper nonce validation is either missing or incorrectly implemented (NVD).

Impact

When successfully exploited, this vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to deactivate the SendWP plugin through a forged request. The attack requires user interaction, specifically tricking a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a malicious link (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users should update their GiveWP plugin to a version newer than 2.33.3 to address this vulnerability. A patch has been implemented and is available through the WordPress plugin repository (WordPress).
