Settings modification via missing nonce validation
Published Nov 4, 2025 · Updated Nov 4, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in ViaBill ViaAds 2.1.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter plugin settings via a forged request. ViaAds_pluginHandler accepts API-key and cookie-consent updates without validating a WordPress nonce, processing a cross-origin request as an administrator action. An administrator must be logged in and induced to click a malicious link; exploitation changes the configured API key and cookie-consent settings.
