Stored XSS via nonce-free options update
Published Aug 10, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Christmasify! 1.5.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject stored scripts through plugin settings. The options function accepts and persists submitted settings without validating a WordPress nonce, so a forged cross-origin request is treated as an administrator action. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to follow a crafted link or visit an attacker-controlled page; successful injection changes plugin configuration and executes scripts when affected pages are viewed.
