Wp Ulike - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) (CVE-2024-9649)

Q: Am I affected by this vulnerability?

You are affected if your site runs Wp Ulike. Versions below 4.7.5 are vulnerable; that release and later are not. No account is needed to exploit this, so a public site is reachable by anyone.

Q: How do I fix it?

Update Wp Ulike to version 4.7.5 or later. That is the complete fix. Until you can update, Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure contains this class of attack at the request layer.

Q: What can an attacker actually do?

This is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) flaw. An attacker who exploits it can make a logged-in administrator perform an action just by visiting a page.

CVE-2024-9649

Vulnerability CVE-2024-9649 PLUGIN wp-ulike MEDIUM

The WP ULike – The Ultimate Engagement Toolkit for Websites plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the wp_ulike_delete_history_api() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete engagements via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

What to do about this

Patch promptly The consequence is significant even where an attacker needs a foothold first.

Fix it

Update Wp Ulike to 4.7.5 or later.

That is the complete fix. Everything below is what protects you in the meantime.

Cannot update today? Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure blocks this class of attack before WordPress processes the request.

Inspect request parameters and bodies for injection, traversal and file-inclusion payloads, and refuse the request rather than logging it.
