Settings modification via missing nonce validation
Published Nov 9, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Palasthotel GmbH Sunny Search 1.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to modify plugin settings. The trySave() function accepts settings-changing requests without requiring or correctly validating a WordPress nonce before saving submitted values. Exploitation requires a site administrator to act on a forged request, such as by opening an attacker-controlled link, and the reported consequence is limited to altering plugin settings.
