Site-option modification via missing nonce validation
Published Feb 21, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Mark Stockton Quicksand Post Filter jQuery Plugin 3.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to update site options. The renderAdmin function processes administrative option changes without validating a CSRF nonce, accepting an attacker-forged request in the victim's session. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to visit a malicious page or click a crafted link, enabling arbitrary site-option changes.
