Arbitrary post duplication via missing nonce validation
Published Nov 22, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Funnelforms LLC Funnelforms Free 3.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to duplicate arbitrary posts. The fnsf_copy_posts function accepts a post-copying request without valid nonce verification, so the server treats a request induced from another site as intentional. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to take an attacker-induced action, such as following a link; the bounded result is creation of copies of attacker-selected posts.
