Unauthenticated menu reassignment via unprotected AJAX action
Published Mar 27, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in Code Supply Co. Networker 1.1.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to change display-menu locations. The unauthenticated csco_reload_menu AJAX action invokes admin_reload_nav_menu(), which writes attacker-supplied menu IDs and location names into the nav_menu_locations theme setting without a capability check. Any remote request can assign or remove a valid menu from a theme location, changing which navigation menus the site displays.
