CVE-2023-2279: Wpdirectorykit Wp Directory Kit

Medium severity, CVSS 5.4. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The WP Directory Kit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'admin_page_display' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete or change plugin settings, import demo data, modify or delete Directory Kit related posts and terms via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. Partial patches were made avilable in versions 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 but the issue was not fully patched until 1.2.2

Affected products

• Wpdirectorykit Wp Directory Kit: before 1.2.2 (fixed in 1.2.2)
