Unauthorized actions via missing nonce validation
Published Nov 19, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Kalmang Dynamic Widgets 1.6.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger unauthorized actions. The process_admin_ui function and several other administrative handlers accept state-changing requests without valid WordPress nonce checks. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to visit a crafted page or click a malicious link; the published impact is limited to unwanted actions with low integrity impact.
