Description
The Ultimate Tag Warrior Importer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 0.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to import tags granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a cross‑site request forgery that results in the unauthorized import of tags. Because the plugin fails to validate the required nonces, an attacker only needs to entice a site administrator to click a crafted link. This can lead to the injection of unwanted tags and the alteration of taxonomy structure, potentially disrupting site navigation and content organization, although it does not grant direct code execution or database compromise.

Affected Systems

All installations of the Ultimate Tag Warrior Importer plugin version 0.2 or earlier on WordPress sites are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 classifies the issue as low severity, and the EPSS score of <1% indicates a very low likelihood of active exploitation. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The exploitation requires persuading an authenticated administrator to perform an action, such as clicking a malicious link, which is a simple and typical CSRF attack vector.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Ultimate Tag Warrior Importer plugin to a version later than 0.2 that includes proper nonce validation.
  • If a patched version is not available, disable or uninstall the plugin entirely and remove unused tag import functionality.
  • Restrict administrator access to a minimal set of trusted users and enforce multi‑factor authentication for all privileged accounts.
  • Apply additional security controls such as a web application firewall to detect and block suspicious POST requests targeting the tag import endpoint.
