Table-export generation via missing nonce validation
Published Jul 12, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
CSRF in Ajay D'Souza Top 10 2.9.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to generate a table export through a forged request. The tptn_export_tables() handler processes the export request without requiring valid WordPress nonce verification. Exploitation requires an administrator to submit the attacker-controlled request, and the documented consequence is generation of the plugin's table export.
