Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Elena Yamshikova Virusdie allows Cross Site Request Forgery. This issue affects Virusdie: from n/a through 1.1.3.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated cross-site request forgery in the Virusdie WordPress plugin through version 1.1.3 allows remote attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions, such as modifying plugin settings or triggering scans. Exploitation requires user interaction and no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified; EPSS indicates a very low exploitation probability.
Technical ContextAI
Virusdie is a WordPress plugin providing malware scanning and security auditing. The vulnerability falls under CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery), rooted in the plugin’s failure to validate the origin of HTTP requests or to include anti-CSRF tokens for state-changing operations. Affected installations, as indicated by NVD CPE data or EUVD advisory, are WordPress sites with the Virusdie plugin active, versions from n/a up to and including 1.1.3. An attacker can forge a request from an authenticated administrator’s browser, abusing the trust between the browser and the vulnerable web application.
RemediationAI
Update the Virusdie plugin to a version higher than 1.1.3; the Patchstack advisory likely identifies a patched release. If an update is unavailable, consider disabling the plugin until a fix is applied. As a compensating control, implement a web application firewall rule that blocks cross-origin requests to the plugin’s endpoints, but note that this may break legitimate functionality. Enforcing same-site cookies and using CSRF tokens at the application level are long-term mitigations, though they require code changes by the vendor.
