Script injection via nonce-free settings handler
Published Jul 18, 2022 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in FreeMind WP Browser 1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through administrator interaction. The FreemindOptions() handler in freemind-wp-browser.php processes crafted requests without verifying a WordPress nonce and places malicious script content in the page. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to be tricked into submitting the crafted request; the script then executes in the affected page context.
