Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
wpDiscuz before 7.6.47 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability that allows attackers to delete all comments associated with an email address by crafting a malicious GET request with a valid HMAC key. Attackers can embed the deletecomments action URL in image tags or other resources to trigger permanent deletion of comments without user confirmation or POST-based CSRF protection.
Executive ViewAI
A high-severity vulnerability in the wpDiscuz WordPress plugin enables attackers to permanently delete all user comments through malicious web requests, potentially causing data loss and reputational damage. Any organization using wpDiscuz versions before 7.6.47 faces immediate risk of comment manipulation and destruction without user consent.
Apply vendor patch. If immediate patching is not feasible: (1) Disable wpDiscuz plugin temporarily; (2) Implement Web Application Firewall rules to block GET requests containing 'deletecomments' action parameters; (3) Restrict plugin functionality to authenticated users only via access controls; (4) Enable detailed comment activity logging to detect unauthorized deletion attempts.
