Settings modification via nonce-free admin_post handlers
Published Jul 11, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in tiggersWelt.net Worthy 1.6.5-6497609 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter plugin settings. Multiple functions registered through WordPress admin_post hooks accept state-changing requests without validating a nonce. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to open an attacker-controlled link or page, after which forged requests run with that administrator's session.
