Summary

The AJAX Report Comments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in all versions up to and including 2.0.4. Missing nonce validation in the rc_options_page function allows unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings, including link text, markup, messages, comment threshold, cookie duration, reporter-comment toggle, and notification email details.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can alter plugin configuration, potentially displaying malicious content or stealing data. The risk is high as it only requires tricking an administrator into clicking a link.

Recommendation

Immediately update the AJAX Report Comments plugin to the latest available version that includes the CSRF fix. Consider implementing additional anti-CSRF tokens.

Original NVD description (English source)

The AJAX Report Comments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.4. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the rc_options_page function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings including link text and markup, success/failure/already-reported messages, comment threshold, cookie duration, reporter-comment toggle, and notification email address, subject, and message body via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
