Database-table reset via missing nonce validation
Published Feb 18, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Smartz Minds Reset 1.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to reset WordPress database tables via a forged request. The reset_db_page() function processes database-reset requests without correctly validating a WordPress nonce.
