Folder-order changes via missing nonce validation
Published Feb 7, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Wicked Plugins Wicked Folders 2.18.16 and earlier allows remote attackers to change folder order. The ajax_save_folder_order handler accepts a forged administrator request without valid nonce verification and saves the supplied folder structure. Exploitation requires an administrator with an active WordPress session to submit the request; the bounded consequence is unauthorized folder-structure modification.
