Product Stock Manager < 1.0.5 - Missing Authorization and Cross-Site Request Forgery

CVSS High (8.1)
Publicly Published October 17, 2022

Researcher WPScanTeam
Description

The Product Stock Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks on several AJAX actions such as af_sm_set_checkbox_status in versions up to, and including, 1.0.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to invoke those actions and make changes they are unauthorized to do so. Furthermore, proper Cross-Site Request Forgery protection is missing. This allows unauthenticated attackers to invoke those actions, via forged request granted they can trick a user into clicking on a link. The af_sm_set_checkbox_status AJAX action can be used to change arbitrary options on the site, which can be used to register administrative user accounts on the site.
