Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerability Patched in Ecwid Ecommerce Shopping Cart Plugin

On June 24, 2022, the Wordfence Threat Intelligence team initiated the responsible disclosure process for a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability we discovered in Ecwid Ecommerce Shopping Cart, a WordPress plugin installed on over 30,000 sites. This vulnerability made it possible for attackers to modify some of the plugin’s more advanced settings via a forged request.

We attempted to reach out to the developer on June, 24, 2022 via their ticketing system. After several plugin updates did not address the issue and we received no response from the developer, we disclosed this vulnerability to the plugins team on July 11, 2022. The vulnerabilities were fixed a few days later in version 6.10.24 on July 13, 2022.

Due to the nature of Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerabilities, which involve tricking administrators into performing actions they are allowed to perform, it is not possible to provide adequate protection for these vulnerabilities without blocking legitimate requests. As such, we highly recommend updating to version 6.10.24 or higher of Ecwid Ecommerce Shopping Cart to ensure that your site is protected against any exploits targeting this vulnerability.
