Unauthorized settings changes via missing nonce validation
Published Mar 14, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in MPG 3.3.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter plugin data through a forged administrator request. Multiple administrative functions omit or incorrectly validate nonces, accepting requests that flush or modify cache settings, download files, change branding, or expose data. Successful exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to follow a malicious link or otherwise submit the attacker-controlled request.
