Setting changes via missing nonce validation
Published Sep 26, 2022 · Updated May 22, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in Gunka Studios Login Block IPs 1.0.0 allows remote attackers to change settings through an administrator. The admin/partials/login-block-ips-admin-display.php handler accepts attacker-selected POST fields without validating an anti-CSRF nonce. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open attacker-controlled content; the forged request can rewrite the security code and blocked-IP entries.
