Summary

The WP Finance plugin for WordPress, up to version 1.3.6, lacks proper CSRF token validation in several areas, and it fails to adequately sanitize and escape user inputs. This oversight can enable attackers to exploit these vulnerabilities, potentially allowing unauthorized commands to be accepted by the server, resulting in the injection of Stored XSS payloads by logged-in administrators through CSRF attacks. Such weakness emphasizes the need for stringent checks and sanitization processes to protect against unauthorized access and data manipulation.

Affected Version(s)

WP Finance 0 <= 1.3.6

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.
