Settings modification via missing nonce validation
Published Jan 7, 2026 · Updated Jan 7, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in fulippo WP Status Notifier 1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to modify plugin settings. The settings-update logic in options-page.php accepts state-changing input without valid WordPress nonce verification and saves attacker-selected values. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to follow a crafted link or perform an equivalent attacker-induced action; the published impact is limited to unauthorized settings changes.
