Injection Guard plugin for WordPress before 1.4.0 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger password hash export by tricking a logged-in administrator into loading a crafted link, since the ig_settings admin page in templates/dashboard.php processes GET parameters without nonce verification. Attackers can exploit this to cause the plugin to write WooCommerce customer email hashes and password hashes to an unprotected file at wp-content/plugins/injection-guard/ab-hash.dat, which can then be downloaded without authentication to obtain customer password hashes for offline cracking.
