Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a WordPress plugin CSRF issue in Restaurant Menu and Food Ordering by Five Star Plugins version 2.4.6 or earlier. An attacker would need user interaction, and the published impact is limited to integrity. The sources do not describe the affected action or a named fixed version.
Executive priority
Treat as a routine WordPress plugin remediation item, not an emergency, unless the plugin supports revenue-critical ordering workflows or broad administrative access exists.
Technical view
CVE-2023-37985 is CWE-352 cross-site request forgery in the FiveStarPlugins Restaurant Menu and Food Ordering plugin. CVSS 3.1 is 4.3, with network attack vector, low complexity, no attacker privileges required, user interaction required, and low integrity impact only.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites using the food-and-drink-menu plugin at version 2.4.6 or earlier. Sites not running this plugin are not indicated as affected by the supplied sources.
Exploitation context
The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. CSRF generally requires persuading a user with a valid browser session to trigger an unintended request. Specific affected actions are not documented in the provided evidence.
Researcher notes
The public bundle identifies CSRF and CVSS characteristics, but not the vulnerable endpoint, nonce behavior, affected action, or fixed version. Do not assume exploitation or impact beyond low integrity without additional vendor detail.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the food-and-drink-menu plugin.
- Check installed versions; prioritize version 2.4.6 or earlier.
- Check FiveStarPlugins or Patchstack guidance for a fixed release.
- Update through normal WordPress maintenance if a supported fix is available.
- Disable the plugin where unnecessary until vendor guidance is confirmed.
Validation and detection
- Confirm the plugin slug and version on each WordPress installation.
- Review plugin settings for unexpected menu, ordering, or configuration changes.
- Check WordPress logs for suspicious administrative activity around plugin pages.
- Verify remediation by confirming the installed version is no longer affected.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
