Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2015-10108 affects the Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer WordPress plugin through version 0.9.6. It is a cross-site request forgery issue, meaning a remote attacker may be able to cause an unintended action through a user’s browser. The available sources identify a patched release, 0.9.6.1.
Executive priority
Patch during the next routine WordPress maintenance window, faster for public or business-critical sites. The risk is moderate: remote triggerability and integrity impact matter, but sources do not show active exploitation or confidentiality loss.
Technical view
The issue is reported in the displayShortcode function in inline-gdocs-viewer.php. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-352 CSRF with CVSS 2.0 score 5.0, vector AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N. A patch is linked in commit 2a8057df8ca30adc859cecbe5cad21ac28c5b747 and release 0.9.6.1.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites running meitar Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer plugin versions 0.9.0 through 0.9.6. The source bundle does not provide install counts, default configuration details, or evidence that other products are affected.
Exploitation context
The source bundle says the attack may be launched remotely, but does not cite active exploitation. The CVE is not marked KEV. Treat this as a known remotely reachable WordPress plugin weakness with partial integrity impact, not as confirmed exploitation in the wild.
Researcher notes
Useful evidence is narrow: VulDB identifies the affected function, CWE, CVSS, affected versions, and patch references. Avoid assuming the exact CSRF action or required victim role without reviewing the patch and plugin behavior.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer to version 0.9.6.1 or later.
- If upgrade is not possible, disable or remove the affected plugin.
- Prioritize remediation on public WordPress sites using affected versions.
- Use the linked vendor repository release and patch as remediation references.
Validation and detection
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer plugin.
- Confirm installed plugin versions are not 0.9.0 through 0.9.6.
- Verify version 0.9.6.1 or the linked patch is present.
- Review change history for unexpected WordPress actions during the exposure window.
