URL scan triggering via missing nonce validation
Published May 10, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Warfare Plugins Social Warfare 4.4.5.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger a URL scan. The options_page_scan_url() function accepts a forged administrative request without correctly validating a WordPress nonce. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to act on an attacker-controlled link, and the resulting operation launches the plugin's URL scan.
