An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-2355 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Easy Username Updater. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2355/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2355/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-2355","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2355/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-2355","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m4cf-jv4v-7jr7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can force logged-in admins to change any user's username, including their own, via CSRF in the Easy Username Updater plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"easy_username_updater","vendor":"easy_username_updater_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The Easy Username Updater WordPress plugin before 1.0.5 does not implement CSRF checks, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change any user's username includes the admin","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Easy Username Updater \u003c 1.0.5 - Arbitrary Username Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2022-2355","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"User Private Files \u003c 1.1.3 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2022-2356"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP-DBManager \u003c 2.80.8 - Admin+ Remote Command Execution","id":"CVE-2022-2354"},"products":["Easy Username Updater"],"published":"2022-08-08","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-27","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can force logged-in admins to change any user's username, including their own, via CSRF in the Easy Username Updater plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2355/"}
