Inventory item deletion via unchecked admin request
Published Jun 27, 2023 · Updated Nov 27, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in WP Inventory Manager before 2.1.0.14 allows remote attackers to delete inventory items through an administrator. The delete_item action accepts action=delete and delete_id on the inventory-management admin page without verifying a CSRF token. A logged-in administrator must be induced to open the crafted request, and successful exploitation deletes the selected inventory item.
