Description

The PropertyHive plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.19. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the 'save_account_details' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to edit the name, email address, and password of an administrator account via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Affected products

• PropertyHive: before 2.0.20 — fixed in 2.0.20

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: PropertyHive 2.0.20. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
