Plugin settings reset via missing nonce validation
Published Mar 6, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Simply Schedule Appointments 1.6.6.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to reset settings via forged requests. The ssa_factory_reset() function processes the reset action without correctly validating a WordPress nonce before replacing stored plugin settings. Exploitation requires a site administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link or otherwise submit the forged request, resulting in unauthorized configuration changes.
