Settings modification via unverified admin POST requests
Published Jun 27, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Marco Cimmino Cimy Header Image Rotator 6.1.1 and earlier allows attackers to alter settings via forged requests. The WordPress settings handler accepts attacker-supplied POST fields at options-general.php without validating an anti-CSRF token before writing image-rotation options. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to load attacker-controlled content, after which image links and rotation parameters are changed under that administrator's session.
