Summary

The BirdSeed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in all versions up to and including 2.2.0. Missing nonce validation in the birdseed_plugin_settings_page() function allows unauthenticated attackers to change the plugin's BirdSeed token setting by saving it to the database via update_option().

Risk Assessment

An attacker can change the BirdSeed token, potentially leading to unauthorized access to external services or takeover of the BirdSeed account.

Recommendation

Update the BirdSeed plugin to the latest version that includes a CSRF fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

The BirdSeed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.0. This is due to missing nonce validation in the birdseed_plugin_settings_page() function. The function processes the 'birdseed_token' GET parameter and saves it to the database via update_option() without verifying a nonce. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the plugin's BirdSeed token setting via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking a link.
