WordPress iMember360 Plugin Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the iMember360 plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed via the "decrypt" and "encrypt" GET parameters is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing proper validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. perform administrative actions when a logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web page.
Note: This can further be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.9.001. Other versions may also be affected.
