Unauthorized social-page connection via missing nonce validation
Published Mar 12, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
CSRF in Easy Social Feed 6.5.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to connect Facebook or Instagram pages through a forged request. The esf_insta_save_access_token and efbl_save_facebook_access_token functions accept access-token changes without correct nonce validation. Exploitation requires a site administrator to act on the forged request, after which attacker-controlled social pages become linked to the WordPress site.
