CVE-2023-0727

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wicked Folders plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.18.16

Description The issue is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ajax delete folder function, making it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke this function via forged requests. Attackers can trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking on a link, to perform actions intended for administrators, including changing the folder structure maintained by the plugin.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.18.16, update to a version that includes the fix for the missing or incorrect nonce validation on the ajax delete folder function. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the ajax delete folder function until a patch is available.
