Administrator cookie theft via missing nonce validation
Published Oct 25, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in AMP for WP 1.0.99.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to exfiltrate an administrator's cookies. The proxy function accepts a forged request without valid nonce verification and forwards the logged-in user's cookies to an attacker-controlled server. Exploitation requires an administrator to follow a crafted link or perform another attacker-induced action while authenticated, exposing session cookies and the access they confer.
