4.3

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

CVE	CVE-2023-3977
CVSS	4.3 (Medium)
Publicly Published	July 27, 2023
Last Updated	July 28, 2023
Researcher	Chloe Chamberland - Wordfence

Description

Several plugins for WordPress by Inisev are vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery to unauthorized installation of plugins due to a missing nonce check on the handle_installation function that is called via the inisev_installation AJAX aciton in various versions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install plugins from the limited list via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
