Overview

A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability was identified in the WpEvently plugin for WordPress. This vulnerability, assigned CVE-2024-32110, affects versions of the plugin from n/a up to and including version 4.1.2. The vulnerability has been categorized as 'MEDIUM' severity with a CVSS score of 4.3.

Technical Details

The CVE-2024-32110 vulnerability is a CSRF issue within the WpEvently plugin. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker tricks a user into performing unintended actions on a web application that the user is authenticated to. In the context of this vulnerability, an attacker could craft a malicious request that, when executed by an authenticated user, could lead to unintended actions being performed within the WpEvently plugin.

The CVSS:3.1 vector string for this vulnerability is "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N", which breaks down as follows:

  • Attack Vector (AV): Network (N) - The vulnerability can be exploited remotely.
  • Attack Complexity (AC): Low (L) - The conditions required for exploitation are relatively easy to meet.
  • Privileges Required (PR): None (N) - No specific privileges are required to exploit the vulnerability.
  • User Interaction (UI): Required (R) - The exploitation of the vulnerability requires some interaction from the user.
  • Scope (S): Unchanged (U) - The vulnerability does not affect other components or systems beyond the WpEvently plugin.
  • Confidentiality Impact (C): None (N) - There is no impact on confidentiality.
  • Integrity Impact (I): Low (L) - There is a low impact on integrity, indicating that some degree of data integrity is compromised.
  • Availability Impact (A): None (N) - There is no impact on availability.

Impact Analysis

The impact of CVE-2024-32110 is primarily related to the integrity of the data handled by the WpEvently plugin. An attacker could potentially manipulate event data or settings within the plugin by tricking an authenticated user into executing a malicious request. However, the impact is considered low due to the required user interaction and the specifics of the attack vector.

Mitigation

To mitigate the risk associated with CVE-2024-32110, users of the WpEvently plugin should update to a version beyond 4.1.2 as soon as a patched version is available. Additionally, website administrators should:

  • Ensure that all users with access to the WpEvently plugin are aware of the potential for CSRF attacks and the importance of verifying the authenticity of requests.
  • Implement additional security measures such as monitoring for suspicious activity within the plugin.
  • Consider implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to help mitigate the risk of CSRF and other types of attacks.
