Settings modification via missing nonce validation
Published Oct 13, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
CSRF in Mailrelay for WordPress 2.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to change plugin settings through a forged request. The render_admin_page function accepts administrative form submissions without valid WordPress nonce verification. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link, after which plugin configuration can be modified.
