Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) issue in the SurveyJS Drag & Drop WordPress Form Builder plugin. It occurs because the plugin lacks proper nonce validation on the 'SurveyJS_CloneSurvey' AJAX action. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to trick a site administrator into performing an unwanted action, such as duplicating surveys, by sending a forged request.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow an attacker to duplicate surveys on a WordPress site without authorization by tricking an administrator into clicking a malicious link. This could lead to unauthorized changes in the site's survey content, potentially causing confusion, data integrity issues, or misuse of site resources.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately update the SurveyJS: Drag & Drop WordPress Form Builder plugin to a version later than 1.12.20 where the nonce validation issue on the SurveyJS_CloneSurvey AJAX action is fixed. Additionally, avoid clicking on suspicious links and ensure that site administrators are aware of the risk of Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. [1]
