What is known

The EazyDocs WordPress plugin before 2.3.6 does not have authorization and CSRF checks when handling documents and does not ensure that they are documents from the plugin, allowing unauthenticated users to delete arbitrary posts, as well as add and delete documents/sections.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2023-6029, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) affecting eazydocs, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether eazydocs is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation.
