All In One WP Security & Firewall <= 5.1.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
CVE CVE-2022-44737
CVSS High (8.8)
Publicly Published November 22, 2022
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Researcher Rafie Muhammad
Description

The All In One WP Security & Firewall plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 5.1.0. This is due to incorrect nonce validation on the functions 'render_login_whitelist', 'render_rename_login', 'render_honeypot' functions and possible others. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform bulk actions on the plugin's list tables (such as deleting blocked IP entries) via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. These actions would be restricted by manipulating entries by database ID, not by other fields (such as IP address).
