What is CVE-2015-2084?
The Easy Social Icons plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) flaw that could allow malicious actors to exploit administrator sessions. By leveraging the image_file parameter during an edit action on the cnss_social_icon_add page within wp-admin/admin.php, an attacker might trick an administrator into executing unauthorized commands. This vulnerability poses a significant threat as it could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, compromising the overall security of the WordPress site.
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
