Forged import actions via missing nonce validation
Published Oct 5, 2023 · Updated Aug 6, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in WP Ultimate CSV Importer 3.7.2 allows remote attackers to trigger import actions in WordPress. The plugin's AJAX-backed import workflow accepts state-changing requests without validating a WordPress nonce for the request. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to interact with attacker-controlled content, allowing forged import requests to run with that session's authority.
