Settings modification via missing nonce validation
Published Sep 2, 2024 · Updated Sep 3, 2024
CSRF in the DN Popup WordPress plugin 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter plugin settings through an administrator's browser. The dn_popup_save() handler accepts a settings-page POST and writes submitted popup and form values without verifying a CSRF nonce. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to open attacker-controlled HTML, after which the forged request changes popup content, form fields, and mail settings under that administrator's session.
