How to download the old versions of this plugin

I discourage anyone from using this plugin. When it works, it does what it should. When it breaks, don't rely on Zoho for support. During two years of using the plugin, I've repeatedly been told by Zoho that it is simply not a Zoho product. Of course, it is managed and produced by the Zoho extensions team. And of course, occasionally I find someone at the Zoho Extensions team with time to investigate issues with this plugin, obviating the false claim from Zoho support teams that this is not a Zoho product. Three years after launch the plugin only has 3000 documented installations, which falls well below the threshold for user interest that would encourage reliable developer support. Zoho CRM email parsers not quite as efficient to set up, but if they break, they do not break functionality of live Webforms. I'll probably work with Zoho to fix whatever is broken in this, but more likely I'll be moving all my forms to an email parser for CRM integration.

Hi. I have this issue in Wordpress after installing the plugin Zoho CRM Lead Magnet in WP I have entered the Domain zoho.in, my Client Id and Client secret and when I click Authenticate Zoho CRM button I’m redirected to Zoho Accounts where I enter username/password but after that I get this error message “invalid\_redirect\_uri”. Thank you!

select { height: auto !important; } Are you kidding me? You singlehandedly destroyed all the selects on my website. Couldn't you just wrap your elements in some id or class?

It works really well with Contact Form 7 and Elementor together.

Using the forms as provided by Zoho. Anytime I attempt to submit Zoho forms, I get the following message: "Sorry, there were some issues in submitting your data. Please try again later"

WordPress Blog2Social versions 6.9.11 and below suffer from a missing authorization vulnerability.

Description: Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Settings Update

Affected Plugin: Blog2Social

Plugin Slug: blog2social

Affected Versions: <= 6.9.11

CVE ID: CVE-2022-3622

CVSS Score: 4.7 (Medium)

CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N

Researcher/s: Marco Wotschka

Fully Patched Version: 6.9.12

Blog2Social: Social Media Auto Post & Scheduler is a plugin offered by Blog2Social/Adenion that provides content-creators with the ability to quickly share site content to their social media accounts. It offers automatic post sharing as well as optimized scheduling and also extends some of its features to subscribers, enabling them to share posts to their own social media accounts.

As part of the plugin’s functionality, there are some more advanced settings that can be managed. Unfortunately, this was implemented insecurely making it possible for authenticated attackers to update these settings even without the authorization to do so.

More specifically, the plugin provides administrators with the ability to enable legacy mode, which is intended to reduce server load. In legacy mode, the plugin will load content one item at a time instead of loading all content in bulk in an attempt to reduce the likelihood of dashboard freeze-ups. In order to reduce the number of concurrent outgoing connections, legacy mode will also load connections to social media accounts in sequential order as opposed to doing so simultaneously. While functionality should not be significantly affected by this for most use cases, this legacy option setting is reserved for administrators only. Unfortunately, due to a lack of capability checking on the function and in the user interface, site subscribers had access to this setting via the dashboard:

/wp-admin/admin.php?page=blog2social-settings

Furthermore, the same URL offers access to a Social Meta Data tab, which contains forms that are disabled for non-administrative users. However, browsers offer inspector tools, which can be used to modify html on the fly in order to change properties of such forms and their elements. For instance, a save button with the following properties can be modified to become functional by removing the disabled attribute from the button:

<button class="btn btn-primary pull-right" disabled="disabled" type="submit">save</button> – as a result, such a form can be submitted by a subscriber. This indicates the developer used client-side validation, which can easily be bypassed by modifying the request sent to the server.

A request could be submitted using a third party tool similar to this one:

POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php HTTP/1.1

Host: 127.0.0.1

Cookie:

b2s_og_default_title=SiteTitle&b2s_og_default_desc=Just%20another%20WordPress%20site&b2s_og_default_image=&b2s_og_imagedata_active=1&b2s_og_objecttype_active=1&b2s_og_locale_active=1&b2s_og_locale=en_US&b2s_card_default_type=Summary&b2s_card_default_title=SiteTitle&b2s_card_default_desc=Just%20another%20WordPress%20site&b2s_card_default_image=&is_admin=1&version=0&action=b2s_save_social_meta_tags&b2s_security_nonce=<nonce>

This had consequences such as allowing subscribers to change social meta tags which could potentially be used to impact brand reputation.

A third issue that we discovered surrounded the plugin’s general authorization mechanism.

[Please view this code snippet on our blog here.] (https://email.wordfence.com/e3t/Ctc/GC+113/cwG7R04/VWydX-1ZpVtDW5m3pbH5yxlc9W2C4PM94S6TLRN1sYgXV5mNXrV3Zsc37CgPpPW1_8BsQ650vs3W86NLQQ1Cb22gW8qlQJx717QmtN2Cx03MLNfRLW2-JNJb7nLtJDW6WM7R34PtmhMW1Q6y_X7lS_zWVjVDs36QWQxhVzcJwS8zW-6JW8R8sdQ5n8VyMW3xQZRx311bNnW52MK5T99M-WqN2bB3jwTbxZzW1VZPJL4W2QZ5W1sVXxZ2kr-JTTbvjx4xd9hxN1FlKQT1fwwDW7k9F6p6vRy5QVbh2jM4ll2JJW999K9x38XkPRW6ZTcyY2C85K-W5CC1TG1747mhW7gFskm1Y2Zy8W1f8khN7hdTbPVNS67c54W0xjW19nHJ55SGL4QW4BD90m6r6kRYW90HD6J3JT--YW9cg9wz21JSczW3tFWZp50-1qtW8wjp8m8gL9xyW7JNDB-5x1VB83f5z1 )

The first if-statement is intended to prevent unauthorized use of this function and similar functions using the same protection. The following parts need to evaluate to true in order for the if-statement to do the same:

- current_user_can('read') – This gives access to the administration screens and user profiles. This permission is generally available to all authenticated users such as subscribers.  
- isset($_POST['b2s_security_nonce']) – this nonce is set by the plugin and can be obtained by searching the code of /wp-admin/profile.php for the string ‘b2s_security_nonce’. This nonce is generated for subscribers and higher.  
- (int) wp_verify_nonce(sanitize_text_field(wp_unslash($_POST['b2s_security_nonce'])), 'b2s_security_nonce') > 0 – this verifies the nonce after some sanitization.

As long as a userId is provided, we are able to lock B2S_LOCK_AUTO_POST_IMPORT_ for any user, resulting in that user being unable to automatically import posts. We found that many other functions lacked proper capability checks as well.

The Importance of Capability Checks

Capability checks are an important part of securing AJAX actions since those are available to any logged in users, including subscribers. The following is an example of an AJAX action from the Blog2Social plugin.

add_action('wp_ajax_b2s_lock_auto_post_import', array($this, 'lockAutoPostImport'));

While nonce checks ensure that the user initiating the request intended to do so, they don’t provide authorization. As mentioned above, the check current_user_can('read') does ensure that the user initiating the request has that specific capability, but it does not suffice to protect actions intended for administrators only. A proper way to secure such actions would be to utilize a check such as

current_user_can('manage_options').

The plugin does make use of B2S_PLUGIN_BLOG_USER_ID, which determines the current user’s ID in order to ensure that options saved are personalized thus preventing overwriting other users’ preferences:

define('B2S_PLUGIN_BLOG_USER_ID', get_current_user_id());

WordPress Blog2Social 6.9.11 Missing Authorization

Microsoft's latest round of monthly security updates has been released with fixes for 68 vulnerabilities spanning its software portfolio, including patches for six actively exploited zero-days.
12 of the issues are rated Critical, two are rated High, and 55 are rated Important in severity. This also includes the weaknesses that were closed out by OpenSSL the previous week.

Microsoft's latest round of monthly security updates has been released with fixes for 68 vulnerabilities spanning its software portfolio, including patches for six actively exploited zero-days.

12 of the issues are rated Critical, two are rated High, and 55 are rated Important in severity. This also includes the weaknesses that were closed out by OpenSSL the previous week.

Also separately addressed at the start of the month is an actively exploited flaw in Chromium-based browsers (CVE-2022-3723) that was plugged by Google as part of an out-of-band update late last month.

"The big news is that two older zero-day CVEs affecting Exchange Server, made public at the end of September, have finally been fixed," Greg Wiseman, product manager at Rapid7, said in a statement shared with The Hacker News.

"Customers are advised to update their Exchange Server systems immediately, regardless of whether any previously recommended mitigation steps have been applied. The mitigation rules are no longer recommended once systems have been patched."

The list of actively exploited vulnerabilities, which allow privilege elevation and remote code execution, is as follows -

*   **CVE-2022-41040** (CVSS score: 8.8) - Microsoft Exchange Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (aka ProxyNotShell)
*   **CVE-2022-41082** (CVSS score: 8.8) - Microsoft Exchange Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (aka ProxyNotShell)
*   **CVE-2022-41128** (CVSS score: 8.8) - Windows Scripting Languages Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
*   **CVE-2022-41125** (CVSS score: 7.8) - Windows CNG Key Isolation Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
*   **CVE-2022-41073** (CVSS score: 7.8) - Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
*   **CVE-2022-41091** (CVSS score: 5.4) - Windows Mark of the Web Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability

Benoît Sevens and Clément Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) have been credited with reporting CVE-2022-41128, which resides in the JScript9 component and occurs when a target is tricked into visiting a specially crafted website.

CVE-2022-41091 is one of the two security bypass flaws in Windows Mark of the Web (MoTW) that came to light in recent months. It was recently discovered as weaponized by the Magniber ransomware actor to target users with fake software updates.

"An attacker can craft a malicious file that would evade Mark of the Web (MotW) defenses, resulting in a limited loss of integrity and availability of security features such as Protected View in Microsoft Office, which rely on MotW tagging," Microsoft said in an advisory.

The second MotW flaw to be resolved is CVE-2022-41049 (aka ZippyReads). Reported by Analygence security researcher Will Dormann, it relates to a failure to set the Mark of the Web flag to extracted archive files.

The two privilege escalation flaws in Print Spooler and the CNG Key Isolation Service are likely to be abused by threat actors as a follow-up to an initial compromise and gain SYSTEM privileges, Kev Breen, director of cyber threat research at Immersive Labs, said.

"This higher level of access is required to disable or tamper with security monitoring tools before running credential attacks with tools like Mimikatz that can allow attackers to move laterally across a network," Breen added.

Four other Critical-rated vulnerabilities in the November patch worth pointing out are privilege elevation flaws in Windows Kerberos (CVE-2022-37967), Kerberos RC4-HMAC (CVE-2022-37966), and Microsoft Exchange Server (CVE-2022-41080), and a denial-of-service flaw affecting Windows Hyper-V (CVE-2022-38015).

The list of fixes for Critical flaws is tailended by four remote code execution vulnerabilities in the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), all carrying CVSS scores of 8.1 (CVE-2022-41039, CVE-2022-41088, and CVE-2022-41044), and another impacting Windows scripting languages JScript9 and Chakra (CVE-2022-41118).

In addition to these issues, the Patch Tuesday update also resolves a number of remote code execution flaws in Microsoft Excel, Word, ODBC Driver, Office Graphics, SharePoint Server, and Visual Studio, as well as a number of privilege escalation bugs in Win32k, Overlay Filter, and Group Policy.

**Software Patches from Other Vendors**

Microsoft aside, security updates have also been released by other vendors since the start of the month to rectify several vulnerabilities, including —

*   AMD
*   Android
*   Apple
*   Cisco
*   Citrix

**What is the plugin license?**

**Can I export logs?**

*   You can easily export logs with Activity Log. We also support exporting filtered results. Filter by the time the action took place, roles, users, options, action type, and more.

A really simple activity log, easy to use. The UI is intuitive and search feature is nice. There aren't a lot of options or feature but it does what I need it to, and it's free.

This is one of simple, easy to use plugin and, never broke or had any issue despite being free. This plugin really helps to find out the unauthorized and malicious activity with ease. I really appreciate the good work. Thank you so much.

Love it! Have it installed on about ~300 sites, no issues except one site that was getting slammed with spam login attempts and the log grew to big to quick but ultimately this plugin helped identify the need to restrict the login url.

An earlier review reported failure to activate and impossible to delete: I suspect that those issues were caused by an out-of-date WordPress and PHP installation. I upgraded and the plug-in does what it says it does.

It saved one of my client's project requests. Simple, intuitive and it even exports information as CSV! Thank you developers! 🙂

Very good plug-in never had any issue, I installed in 5 websites so far and no problem.
