Administrative action execution via missing nonce validation
Published May 25, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
CSRF in Simple Share Buttons Adder 8.4.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to invoke an administrative function through a forged request. The affected function accepts a state-changing request without valid WordPress nonce verification; public records do not identify the function or specific action. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to follow a malicious link or otherwise submit attacker-controlled content, and the published impact is limited to unwanted state changes.
