Unauthorized metadata and option changes via missing nonces
Published Nov 22, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in DeluxeThemes UserPro 5.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter user metadata and plugin options. Multiple request-handling functions omit or incorrectly perform WordPress nonce validation before adding, changing, or deleting those records. Exploitation requires an authenticated site user to submit an attacker-crafted request, resulting in unauthorized profile-data or configuration changes.
