Administrative actions via missing CSRF checks
Published Sep 27, 2021 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in StylemixThemes uListing 2.0.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to perform plugin administration actions. The affected administration-page handlers accept state-changing requests without CSRF validation, so forged cross-origin requests inherit an administrator’s active WordPress session. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open attacker-controlled content; the specific handlers and resulting actions are not publicly disclosed.
