Forced privileged actions via missing nonce checks
Published Jan 2, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Nitesh Singh Ultimate Auction 4.2.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to force privileged actions. The plugin's state-changing WordPress AJAX handlers accept requests without nonce verification, allowing a forged page or link to submit them in a logged-in user's session. Exploitation requires a privileged user to click a malicious link, visit a crafted page, or submit a form; the specific action and resulting data change are undisclosed.
