CVE CVE-2023-5611
CVSS 4.3 (Medium)
Publicly Published October 29, 2023

Researcher Erwan LR - WPScan

Description

The Seraphinite Accelerator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.20.31. This is due to missing nonce validation on the 'reset' case of the Init() function, the 'settImport' case of the _on_admin_action_act() function, and the OnInitAdminMode() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save, reset, and import settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
