Executive Summary

The Smash Balloon Social Photo Feed – Easy Social Feeds Plugin for WordPress has a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in all versions up to and including 6.11.1.

This vulnerability exists because the plugin's maybe_connection_data function lacks proper nonce validation, which is a security measure to verify requests.

As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can trick a site administrator into performing an action, such as clicking a malicious link, which then allows the attacker to overwrite the site's Instagram and Facebook oEmbed access tokens.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker to overwrite the site's Instagram and Facebook oEmbed access tokens without authentication.

If successful, the attacker could potentially manipulate the social media feeds displayed on the site or disrupt the integration with Instagram and Facebook.

Since the attack requires tricking a site administrator into clicking a link, it relies on social engineering.
