What the vulnerability does
The teachPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 9.0.9. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the import.php page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete imports via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
teachPress versions up to 9.0.9 are vulnerable to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that, when visited by a logged-in site administrator, performs unwanted actions on the site without the admin's knowledge or consent. The vulnerability requires the victim to visit the attacker's page while authenticated to teachPress.
What an attacker can do
Perform unwanted actions on the site by tricking an authenticated admin into visiting a malicious webpage.
Potential impact on your site
An attacker can modify site content or settings by exploiting an admin's active session without their awareness.
Conditions required to exploit
The site admin must be logged into teachPress and visit an attacker-controlled webpage.
