Description
The FuseWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.24.2. This is due to missing nonce verification on the toggle_sync_status() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to toggle the status of sync rules (enable/disable) via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

The FuseWP WordPress plugin suffers from a Cross‑Site Request Forgery flaw because the toggle_sync_status() action does not validate a nonce. An attacker can send a forged request that causes a site administrator, if tricked into clicking a link or visiting a malicious page, to enable or disable email sync rules. This results in unauthorized configuration changes that can halt email campaigns or cause stale data to be sent to marketing platforms such as Mailchimp or Constant Contact, but it does not provide code execution or privilege escalation.

Affected Systems

All WordPress sites running FuseWP plugin versions 1.1.24.2 or earlier are affected. The vulnerability resides solely in the AjaxHandler component that manages the sync‑rule status toggle; no other plugins or core WordPress components are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a moderate severity, while the EPSS score of < 1% suggests low exploitation probability. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires social engineering of an administrator, who must click a crafted link or load a malicious page – no authentication is required. While it does not grant code execution, the potential to disrupt marketing workflows warrants prompt remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the FuseWP plugin to a version 1.1.25 or later, which includes proper nonce validation for the sync rule toggle action.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, disable the FuseWP plugin entirely or remove the sync rule toggle feature through the WordPress admin UI to prevent the vulnerable action from being triggered.
  • Implement strong administrative controls, such as enforcing complex passwords and enabling multi‑factor authentication, to reduce the likelihood that an administrator will unknowingly execute a forged request.
  • Regularly audit custom Ajax handlers in the WordPress installation to ensure they perform proper nonce verification to guard against CSRF attacks.
