What is CVE-2023-2279?

The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute unauthorized actions through Cross-Site Request Forgery. Due to improper nonce validation in the 'admin_page_display' function, attackers can manipulate plugin settings, import demo data, and alter Directory Kit-related content by tricking site administrators into clicking on malicious links. Initial patches addressed part of the issue in versions 1.2.0 and 1.2.1, but full resolution was achieved in version 1.2.2.

Affected Version(s)

WP Directory Kit * <= 1.2.1
