VISeek WordPress plugin: Cross-Site Request Forgery in viseek-easy-custom-search
Summary
VillaTheme VISeek, a WordPress search plugin, is affected by a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in all versions up to and including 1.0.5. An attacker can craft a malicious page that causes a logged-in privileged user to perform actions unintentionally, such as changing settings. Exploitation requires that the victim is logged in and opens the attacker's page; the attacker needs no account on the site.
Affected
- VISeek WordPress plugin (viseek-easy-custom-search) from n/a through 1.0.5
Fixed in
- Version 1.0.6 or later (first unaffected version according to the CVE record and Patchstack)
Workaround
- No workaround documented. Update to 1.0.6 or later.
- If an update cannot be applied immediately, administrators should not browse other sites while logged into the WordPress back end and should use a separate browser profile for admin work.
Exploitation
- Not known to be exploited (OffSeq, strix.ai).
- Not listed in CISA KEV.
- No public proof of concept found.
- CISA SSVC: exploitation none, not automatable.
Our recommendation
- Check whether the VISeek plugin is installed on your WordPress sites and which version is active.
- Update the plugin to version 1.0.6 or later.
- Remind administrators not to open untrusted links while logged into the WordPress back end.
- If the plugin is not installed, no action is needed.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
