Settings modification via missing CSRF validation
Published Nov 17, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in KubiQ MouseWheel Smooth Scroll before 5.7 allows remote attackers to alter settings through an administrator. The settings page accepts and persists submitted configuration values without verifying a CSRF token or request intent. Exploitation requires a logged-in WordPress administrator to interact with attacker-controlled content; the bounded consequence is unauthorized modification of the plugin's scrolling configuration.
