Executive Summary

The WPLP Cookie Consent WordPress plugin before version 4.4.2 has a flaw where it lacks authorization and CSRF checks when storing visitor consent state. This allows unauthenticated attackers to overwrite site-wide options with arbitrary data by exploiting code that runs on every front-end page load.

Detection Guidance

Check if the WPLP Cookie Consent plugin version is below 4.4.2. Inspect network traffic for unauthenticated POST requests to WordPress admin-ajax.php handling consent state updates. Look for unusual site-wide option changes in the WordPress database.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could manipulate site-wide settings, potentially altering cookie consent behavior or injecting malicious content. This could disrupt site functionality or mislead users about privacy practices.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR or HIPAA by allowing unauthorized changes to consent mechanisms, potentially violating data protection requirements.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the WPLP Cookie Consent plugin to version 4.4.2 or later immediately. If updating is not possible, consider disabling the plugin temporarily until an update is applied.
