Category renaming via missing AJAX nonce validation
Published Feb 27, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Frenify Categorify 1.0.7.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to rename media categories via a forged request. The categorifyAjaxRenameCategory AJAX handler accepts the category-renaming request without correctly validating a nonce, so it performs the state change under the administrator's session. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link, and the reported consequence is limited to unauthorized category-name changes.
