CVE-2024-7862Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Administrator settings modification via missing CSRF check

Published Sep 12, 2024 · Updated Sep 12, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in Blog Introduction 0.3.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter settings via a logged-in administrator. The options-general.php?page=Blogintroduction handler accepts posted option values, including the Websnapr API key and display settings, without a CSRF check. Exploitation requires an administrator with an active WordPress session to open attacker-controlled HTML, and the demonstrated impact is limited to plugin settings changes.
