What the vulnerability does
The WP Firebase Push Notification plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the wfpn_brodcast_notification_message() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send broadcast notifications 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
WP Firebase Push Notification versions up to 1.2.0 lack CSRF protection on administrative actions. An attacker can craft a malicious webpage that, when visited by a logged-in site administrator, performs unwanted actions such as changing plugin settings or sending notifications without the admin's knowledge. The attack requires the admin to visit the attacker's page while authenticated to the WordPress site.
What an attacker can do
Perform administrative actions (change settings, send notifications) on behalf of a logged-in site admin.
Potential impact on your site
An attacker can modify plugin settings or trigger unwanted notifications if an admin visits a malicious link while logged in.
Conditions required to exploit
Site admin must be logged in and visit an attacker-controlled webpage.
