CVE-2021-24500: Workreap theme < 2.2.2 - Multiple CSRF + IDOR Vulnerabilities

• Severity: high (CVSS 8.1 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.6% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: yes
• Published: 2021-08-09 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-283

Description

Several AJAX actions available in the Workreap WordPress theme before 2.2.2 lacked CSRF protections, as well as allowing insecure direct object references that were not validated. This allows an attacker to trick a logged in user to submit a POST request to the vulnerable site, potentially modifying or deleting arbitrary objects on the target site.

Affected products

• Workreap: before 2.2.2 — fixed in 2.2.2

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Workreap 2.2.2. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
