specifically, obtaining consent for cookies from visitors, the creation of a Privacy &amp; Cookies Policy page and the enablement of banners showing compliance.<\/p>\n<p>The plugin accounts for over 700,000 active installs according to the WordPress library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On January 28, NinTechNet researcher Jerome Bruandet <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nintechnet.com\/wordpress-gdpr-cookie-consent-plugin-fixed-vulnerability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">discovered a vulnerability<\/a> affecting GDPR Cookie Consent version 1.8.2 and below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>See also:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/enterprise-companies-struggle-to-control-digital-certificates-public-key-infrastructure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Enterprise companies struggle to control security certificates, cryptographic keys<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The security flaw, of which a CVE number has been requested, is a critical issue caused by missed capabilities checks, leading to authenticated, stored cross-site scripting (XSS) and potentially privilege escalation.<\/p>\n<p>A vulnerable AJAX endpoint is the root cause of the problem, in which a failure to implement checks meant that three actions were exposed: get_policy_pageid, autosave_contant_data, and save_contentdata.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>According to WordPress security organization <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordfence.com\/blog\/2020\/02\/improper-access-controls-in-gdpr-cookie-consent-plugin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-component=\"externalLink\">WordFence<\/a>, &#8220;because the AJAX endpoint was intended to only be accessible to administrators, the vulnerability allows subscriber-level users to perform a number of actions that can compromise the site&#8217;s security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While get_policy_pageid only offers the post ID of a cookie policy page and does not, therefore, pose much harm, the exposure of autosave_contant_data &#8212; (spelling mistake in the code) &#8212; a function intended for the definition of default content in the policy preview page means that this page could be injected with XSS payloads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Malicious payloads could then be executed that load when http:\/\/ websitename&nbsp;\/cli-policy-preview\/ is visited by members of the public.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, save_contentdata is intended for use in creating or updating the post used for the policy page, and so exposure could permit attackers to change the post content in a number of different ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CNET:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/ipvanish-vs-expressvpn-security-speed-and-price-compared\/?ftag=CMG-01-10aaa1b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-component=\"externalLink\">IPVanish vs. ExpressVPN: Security, speed and price compared<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An authenticated user such as a subscriber can use it to put any existing page or post (or the entire website) offline by changing their status from &#8220;published&#8221; to &#8220;draft,&#8221;&#8221; Bruandet said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It may also be possible to use this action to delete material or inject content including &#8220;formatted text, local or remote images as well as hyperlinks and shortcodes,&#8221;

The plugin was temporarily removed from the WordPress.org directory pending a fix on February 8.
