Low risk6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Asgaros Forum plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.1. This is due to missing nonce validation on the set_subscription_level() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the subscription settings of authenticated users via a forged request granted they can trick a logged-in user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can modify users' subscription settings without their knowledge, potentially leading to unwanted notifications or account configuration changes. The risk affects organizations using the Asgaros Forum plugin.
Recommendation
Update the Asgaros Forum plugin to a version later than 3.2.1 that contains the fix. Additionally, consider implementing application-level CSRF protection or a WAF.
