WordPress · Countdown/Countup · CVE-2021-34636
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
The Countdown and CountUp, WooCommerce Sales Timers WordPress plugin versions up to and including 1.5.7
Description:
The issue is related to Cross-Site Request Forgery, which occurs due to a missing nonce check in the `save theme` function found in the `~/includes/admin/coundown theme page.php` file. This allows attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts.
Recommendations:
For versions up to and including 1.5.7, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `save theme` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `~/includes/admin/coundown theme page.php` file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
