CVE-2022-3850Network attack vector

Arbitrary database replacement via CSRF

Published Nov 28, 2022 · Updated Apr 25, 2025

Cross-Site Request Forgery in Find and Replace All before 1.3 allows remote attackers to alter database strings via forged requests. The plugin's string-replacement action lacks a CSRF nonce check, so a crafted request is accepted in an administrator's logged-in WordPress session. Exploitation requires an administrator to visit attacker-controlled content and can change arbitrary database values, affecting integrity without inherent confidentiality or service-availability impact.
