Log deletion via missing nonce validation
Published Feb 4, 2025 · Updated Feb 4, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in SWIT Activity Log for WordPress before 1.2.5 allows remote attackers to delete log data via forged requests. Several log-management functions accept state-changing requests without correct WordPress nonce validation, allowing the victim's session to authorize deletion. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to open attacker-controlled content; the reported consequence is deletion of plugin log data.
