AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, administrators should avoid interacting with untrusted links or requests that could trigger the vulnerable process_request function. Monitoring for suspicious cron tasks and restricting administrative actions to trusted users may reduce risk. Follow updates from the vendor metagauss for an official patch or mitigation instructions.
Description
The RegistrationMagic – User Registration Forms Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.9.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the process_request function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to escalate the privileges of an arbitrary form submitter to administrator by creating a malicious Chronos automation task that is executed via WordPress cron via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
