Configuration reset via missing request nonce
Published Oct 6, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Responsive Gallery Grid 2.3.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to reset plugin options. The administrative option-reset path accepted a state-changing request without verifying a WordPress nonce, so a crafted page could submit the action under an administrator's active session. Successful exploitation requires an administrator to visit attacker-controlled content and can erase gallery settings and interrupt the intended display configuration.
