What is CVE-2023-5772?

The Debug Log Manager plugin for WordPress lacks proper nonce validation in its clear_log() function, making it susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking an authorized site administrator into executing a malicious action—such as clicking on a poisoned link—allowing the attacker to clear sensitive debug logs without proper authorization.

Affected Version(s)

Debug Log Manager – Conveniently Monitor and Inspect Errors 0 <= 2.2.1
