Settings modification via missing request nonce
Published Apr 8, 2023 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in WordPress Exit Strategy 1.55 allows remote attackers to modify exit-page settings through an administrator. The exit_page_admin function accepts POST values for exitpagecontents and redirecttoparent and writes them with update_option without verifying a request nonce. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator's browser to submit the attacker's request, allowing exit-page content and redirect behavior to be changed.
