Email deletion via nonce-free admin request
Published Jul 30, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
CSRF in WP Ajax Contact Form 2.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete stored emails by inducing a logged-in administrator. The members_list deletion handler accepts attacker-controlled did and eid POST values and deletes email-list entries without verifying a CSRF nonce. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to open an attacker-controlled HTML page, and the demonstrated consequence is deletion of selected stored emails.
