WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The BEAR for WordPress (also known as WooCommerce Bulk Editor and Products Manager Professional) contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in versions up to and including 1.1.3.3. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on September 25, 2023, and affects the plugin's woobesaveoptions function (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from missing or incorrect nonce validation in the woobesaveoptions function. Additionally, the plugin has insufficient input sanitization and escaping mechanisms. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) by NIST with a vector string of CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, while Wordfence assessed it with a score of 4.3 (MEDIUM) (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's settings through forged requests if they can trick a site administrator into performing specific actions, such as clicking on a malicious link. The insufficient input sanitization and escaping can also lead to malicious script injection (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should update to a version newer than 1.1.3.3 of the BEAR for WordPress plugin to address this vulnerability (NVD).
