What is CVE-2023-7074?

The WP SOCIAL BOOKMARK MENU plugin for WordPress, specifically versions up to 1.2, is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks due to the absence of CSRF token checks during the settings update process. This security flaw allows an attacker to exploit the plugin by tricking a logged-in administrator into unintentionally submitting a malicious request, potentially leading to unauthorized changes in the plugin's settings. Website administrators using this plugin should assess their current version and implement appropriate security measures to mitigate the risk associated with this vulnerability.

Affected Version(s)

WP SOCIAL BOOKMARK MENU 0 <= 1.2

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
