NVD · unedited
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in QuanticEdge First Order Discount Woocommerce.This issue affects First Order Discount Woocommerce: from n/a through 1.21.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the QuanticEdge First Order Discount Woocommerce plugin allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions, such as modifying discount configurations or discount rules, without their consent. The lack of proper token validation on form submissions enables malicious requests to be executed when an authenticated user visits a crafted page.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on all form submissions and state-changing requests within the plugin, and validate these tokens on the server side before processing any discount-related actions.
