Description
The CM Ad Changer – A simple tool to control and optimize your site's banners plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.7. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the cmac_campaigns_action function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete arbitrary advertising campaigns, including their associated banner records and uploaded files 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 vulnerability arises from missing or incorrect nonce validation in the cmac_campaigns_action function, allowing any unauthenticated user to forge requests that permanently delete advertising campaigns, associated banner records, and uploaded files. This leads to data loss and possible service disruption for sites using the compromised plugin. The weakness corresponds to the Common Weakness Enumeration CWE-352: Cross‑Site Request Forgery.

Affected Systems

Plugins affected are CM Ad Changer versions up to and including 2.0.7, deployed on WordPress sites. Owners of these installations, regardless of operating system, are at risk if the plugin remains at these versions.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 4.3 indicates a moderate impact. The EPSS score is currently not available, so the precise exploitation probability is unknown, and the vulnerability does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector requires a privileged administrator to click a crafted link or submit a crafted form; the attacker cannot directly execute code from their side. Social engineering to lure the administrator into performing the request is therefore necessary, limiting the pool of effective attackers to those capable of reaching administrative staff.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update CM Ad Changer to the latest version (≥2.0.8) where proper nonce checks are implemented.
  • Restrict backend access to trusted IP addresses or enforce two‑factor authentication for WordPress administrators to reduce the likelihood of successful social‑engineering.
  • Review and disable any external plugins or scripts that might auto‑generate or submit forms to the administration panel, and validate all nonces on custom admin actions to guard against similar CSRF weaknesses.
