Import deletion via broken nonce validation
Published Mar 25, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in teachPress 9.0.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete publication imports via forged requests. The import.php page accepts the import-deletion action without correctly validating a WordPress nonce, so a cross-origin request reaches the deletion handler. Exploitation requires a site administrator with an active session to follow a crafted link or otherwise submit the request; the reported consequence is limited to deletion of imports.
