Product deactivation via missing nonce validation
Published Jun 9, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Level Four Development, LLC WP EasyCart 5.4.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to deactivate products. The process_deactivate_product function accepts an administrative product-deactivation request without correctly validating a WordPress nonce, so a forged request executes with the administrator's session. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link or otherwise submit the forged request; the bounded result is unauthorized product deactivation.
