Settings modification via missing CSRF check
Published May 15, 2024 · Updated Nov 20, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in Luke Lanchester HL Twitter 2014.1.18 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter settings via a forged request. The hl_twitter_settings page accepts POST values for the object settings fields without performing a CSRF check on the request. Exploitation requires an administrator with an active WordPress session to open an attacker-controlled HTML page; the demonstrated consequence is modification of tweet formatting, automatic posting, the archive slug, and update frequency.
