Content deletion via missing nonce validation
Published Nov 12, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
CSRF in FlipperCode WP Maps 4.4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete maps, locations, or categories via forged requests. The delete() methods in the WPGMP_Model_Group_Map, WPGMP_Model_Location, and WPGMP_Model_Map classes process state-changing requests without valid nonce checks. An administrator must be logged in and induced to click a malicious link or otherwise submit the forged request, and the resulting impact is limited to deleting plugin content.
