Unauthorized actions via missing nonce validation
Published Mar 13, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
CSRF in PixelYourSite 9.3.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger unwanted actions through forged requests. Several request-handling functions omit or incorrectly perform WordPress nonce validation, allowing an administrator's browser to submit attacker-chosen actions. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to follow a malicious link or visit a crafted page; public sources do not identify the functions or resulting changes.
