Order Delivery Date WordPress Plugin | before 12.3.1

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability resides in the lack of authorization and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) checks during the import of settings in the Order Delivery Date WordPress plugin. Additionally, there is an absence of adequate checks to update only those options that are relevant to the plugin. This opens up a pathway for attackers to modify the default_user_role to ‘administrator’ and alter the ‘users_can_register’ option. Consequently, the attacker can register themselves as an administrator of the site, leading to a complete site takeover.

Conceptual Example Code

The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. This is a hypothetical HTTP request, which an attacker could use to modify the default_user_role and users_can_register options.

POST /wp-admin/options.php HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
default_user_role=administrator&users_can_register=1&option_page=general&action=update&_wpnonce=c6c13b4732&_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Foptions-general.php

Mitigation Guidance

Website administrators using the Order Delivery Date WordPress plugin should immediately upgrade to version 12.3.1 or later. If an immediate patch is not feasible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can serve as temporary mitigation. However, these are not long-term solutions and the vulnerability should be patched as soon as possible to prevent potential site compromise or data leakage.
