Unauthenticated settings modification via unchecked update requests
Published May 30, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Incorrect authorization in WPExperts All In One Login before 1.1.0 allows remote attackers to alter login-URL settings via HTTP. The settings update path accepts rwl_page and rwl_redirect_field values through options-permalink.php or admin-ajax.php without an authorization check or CSRF token validation. No account is required for a direct request; a CSRF variant requires an administrator to submit the crafted form, and successful modification can redirect or conceal the site's login route.
