What is CVE-2024-8245?

The GamiPress WordPress plugin prior to version 1.0.1 is susceptible to a security flaw that lacks a proper Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) check when updating plugin settings. This oversight could enable an attacker to exploit the vulnerability, allowing unauthorized changes to be made by a logged-in administrator. Ensuring the implementation of CSRF tokens in web applications is essential for safeguarding against such attacks and maintaining the integrity of administrative actions.

Affected Version(s)

GamiPress 0 < 1.0.1

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.
