CVE-2023-50886Network attack vector

Template deletion via CSRF and missing authorization

Published Mar 15, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Missing authorization and CSRF in wpWax Legal Pages 1.3.7 and earlier allow attackers to delete stored legal templates. The deleteLegalTemplate() function performs deletion without a capability check; the published record does not identify the CSRF request locus. Direct exploitation requires subscriber-level access, while the CSRF path requires an authorized user to act on a crafted request; the documented consequence is template deletion.
