Forced privileged actions via cross-site requests

Published Nov 9, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in the affected WordPress plugin through 3.7 allows remote attackers to trigger unwanted privileged actions. The CNA record and Patchstack omit the request handler, missing validation operation, and exact action invoked by forged requests. Exploitation requires interaction by an authenticated higher-privileged user; disclosed impact is limited to unspecified unwanted actions in the authenticated session.
