Configuration changes via missing nonce validation
Published Jan 2, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Tim Whitlock Loco Translate 2.6.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to save or delete configuration. The init function processes configuration-changing requests without correct nonce validation, accepting requests forged through an administrator's browser. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to click a malicious link, visit a crafted page, or submit an attacker-controlled form.
