An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2023-4209 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown POEditor. 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-2023-4209/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4209/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-4209","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4209/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-4209","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7mhg-9f7m-6g74"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trick logged-in admins into resetting plugin settings and updating API keys via CSRF, requiring an upgrade to POEditor.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"poeditor","vendor":"poeditor"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The POEditor WordPress plugin before 0.9.8 does not have CSRF checks in various places, which could allow attackers to make logged in admins perform unwanted actions, such as reset the plugin's settings and update its API key via CSRF attacks.","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":"POEditor \u003c 0.9.8 - Settings Reset via CSRF","id":"CVE-2023-4209","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.","id":"CVE-2023-4210"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use-after-free in Linux kernel's net/sched: cls_u32 component","id":"CVE-2023-4208"},"products":["POEditor"],"published":"2023-08-30","related":[{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress POEditor plugin \u003c= 0.9.8 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-32453","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-15"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WordPress POEditor Plugin \u003c= 0.9.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-32091","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-03"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-23","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can trick logged-in admins into resetting plugin settings and updating API keys via CSRF, requiring an upgrade to POEditor.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4209/"}
