Settings alteration via missing nonce validation

Published Jul 17, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

CSRF in WP Reroute Email 1.4.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter plugin settings through a forged administrator request. The settings.php handler accepts settings updates without correctly validating a WordPress nonce. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open an attacker-controlled link or page; the resulting configuration changes affect email rerouting.
