AI Analysis

Impact

The Comment Info Detector plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross‑Site Request Forgery in all versions up to and including 1.0.5. The missing nonce validation on options.php allows an unauthenticated attacker to submit forged requests that change the plugin’s configuration. This breaks the integrity of the plugin’s settings and can lead to undesired behavior if the settings alter how comments are managed or displayed.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites employing the tom_riddle Comment Info Detector plugin, with affected versions being any release 1.0.5 or earlier. All such installations are vulnerable regardless of other configurations.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 reflects a moderate severity, while the EPSS score of < 1% indicates that the likelihood of exploitation is very low. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and no public zero‑day exploit has been reported. The attack most plausibly relies on a victim‑side interaction, such as tricking an administrator into clicking a malicious link that submits a forged request to options.php. Post‑attack, an attacker can modify settings but cannot execute code or read data beyond what the compromised settings might allow.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Comment Info Detector to version 1.0.6 or later, which includes proper nonce validation on options.php.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, remove or restrict the options.php endpoint from unauthenticated users and ensure that any form submissions include a valid nonce.
  • Apply least‑privilege practices for WordPress administrator accounts, monitor for unexpected changes to plugin settings, and consider disabling unused plugins to reduce the attack surface.
