CVE-2024-38778Network attack vector

Administrator-forced style reset via missing nonce validation

Published Jan 2, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in WP Fast Total Search 1.69.234 and earlier allows remote attackers to reset style data by tricking an administrator. The ajax_get_qlog_data and ajax_se_style_reset functions accept forged requests without valid WordPress nonce verification. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to follow a crafted link or submit a forged request; the documented consequence is limited to resetting plugin style data.
