Summary

The EmergencyWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in all versions up to and including 1.4.2. Missing nonce validation in the form_settings_ui function allows unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings, including the minimum access role, data-erasure-on-uninstall flag, life-check timing values, mandator email address, confirmation page ID, and date/time formats.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take over plugin settings, potentially leading to privilege escalation, data leakage, or disruption of the 'Dead Man's switch' mechanism.

Recommendation

Immediately update the EmergencyWP plugin to the latest available version that includes a CSRF fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

The EmergencyWP – Dead Man's switch & legacy deliverance plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the form_settings_ui (settings save handler, procedural include scope) function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings including the minimum access role (altering WordPress role capabilities via add_cap/remove_cap), the data-erasure-on-uninstall flag, life-check timing values, the mandator email address, the confirmation page ID, and date/time formats via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
