Store deletion via missing nonce validation
Published May 15, 2025 · Updated May 20, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in JSP Store Locator 1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete stores through a crafted request. The plugin's store-deletion handler accepts a state-changing request without verifying a WordPress nonce, so the victim's authenticated session authorizes the deletion. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to open an attacker-controlled link; the documented consequence is deletion of store records.
