CVE-2022-4633Network attack vector

Settings modification via missing request nonce

Published Dec 21, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Auto Upload Images 3.3.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter plugin settings through an administrator. The settingPage() handler accepts a POST containing submit and persists supplied fields with update_option without verifying a request nonce. Exploitation requires a logged-in WordPress administrator to send the forged request, and the demonstrated consequence is unauthorized modification of plugin settings.
