Settings tampering and stored XSS via CSRF
Published Dec 5, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Norby AI for WordPress 1.0.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter settings via forged requests. The api/save.php settings handler writes submitted values without verifying a WordPress nonce, allowing script-bearing settings to be stored. Exploitation requires an administrator to submit the attacker-controlled request, after which injected web scripts execute in the affected site's administrative context.
