Unauthorized function invocation via missing nonce validation
Published Jul 18, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in SiteAlert 1.9.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to invoke a plugin function through a forged request. Published sources do not identify the affected function, but establish that it accepts an incoming request without adequate WordPress nonce validation. Exploitation requires an administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link or perform a comparable action; the function's exact data modification and service impact remain undisclosed.
