Settings modification via missing nonce validation
Published Jul 12, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Cross-site request forgery in ContentLock 1.0.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to change plugin settings through an administrator's browser. The settings-update handler accepts a forged request without verifying a WordPress nonce, so it applies attacker-chosen values under the administrator's session. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to trigger attacker-controlled content; the documented consequence is unauthorized settings modification.
