Notice dismissal via missing nonce validation
Published Apr 24, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
CSRF in WP Royal Royal Elementor Kit 1.0.116 and earlier allows remote attackers to dismiss administrator notices via forged requests. The dismissed_handler() function processes the notice-dismissal request without correctly validating a WordPress nonce. Exploitation requires an administrator with an active authenticated session to open attacker-controlled content, and the documented consequence is limited to hiding dashboard notices.
