Unwanted actions via missing CSRF checks
Published Jan 23, 2023 · Updated Apr 2, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Booster for WooCommerce editions before 6.0.1 allows attackers to trigger actions through logged-in users. Published materials identify the Booster User Roles Changer and numerous other request handlers as accepting state-changing requests without valid CSRF checks. Exploitation requires a logged-in user to submit an attacker-crafted request; the resulting data or configuration changes depend on the targeted handler.
