Form deletion via unvalidated bulk-action nonce
Published Nov 27, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Contact Forms by Cimatti 1.9.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete forms via forged requests. The process_bulk_action function accepts bulk-delete requests without validating a WordPress nonce before deleting selected forms. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to open or activate attacker-controlled content that submits the request.
