Description
The JetStyleManager for Gutenberg WordPress plugin before 1.3.9 does not have CSRF protection on some of its AJAX actions, allowing attackers to make a logged-in user with the edit_posts capability (Contributor and above) delete or modify custom widget skins via a crafted request, provided they can trick the user into performing an action such as clicking a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

The JetStyleManager for Gutenberg plugin before version 1.3.9 omits CSRF protection on several AJAX endpoints, allowing an attacker to craft a request that a logged‑in contributor or higher user can unintentionally trigger. When a vulnerable user clicks a malicious link or loads a page containing the request, the plugin unknowingly deletes or alters custom widget skins. This changes the visual presentation of the site, potentially disrupting branding or user experience, but does not directly compromise core application data or code.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress site installing JetStyleManager for Gutenberg with a version earlier than 1.3.9 is impacted. The issue exists across all installations where contributors or higher roles have access to the plugin’s skin management functionality.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability can be exploited by any threat actor capable of persuading an authenticated WordPress user to act on a crafted link. No authentication bypass or privilege escalation is required beyond the existing edit_posts capability. Because the flaw resides in missing CSRF checks, an exploit is straightforward to construct and does not require complex preparation. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog; however, the absence of CSRF protection makes it highly actionable for attackers targeting sites that rely on the JetStyleManager plugin for theme and widget presentation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the JetStyleManager for Gutenberg plugin to version 1.3.9 or later, which implements CSRF protection on skin management actions.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, temporarily disable or remove the JetStyleManager plugin until a patched version is applied to prevent accidental skin deletion or modification.
  • Ensure that users with edit_posts capability are aware of the risk and are instructed not to click suspicious links or to use link shorteners that could trigger Ajax calls without their knowledge.
