Tournament deletion via missing nonce validation
Published May 15, 2025 · Updated May 16, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in EKC Tournament Manager before 2.2.2 allows remote attackers to delete tournaments through a crafted request. The deletion path performs a state-changing tournament removal without validating a WordPress nonce in the request. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link, and the reported consequence is tournament deletion.
