CVE-2024-0592

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Related Posts for WordPress plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.2.1

Description The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the handle create link() function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to add related posts to other posts via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. This ultimately makes it possible for attackers to view draft and password-protected posts.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.2.1, update to a version that includes proper nonce validation for the handle create link() function to prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the handle create link() function until a patch is available.
