Privilege escalation via forged privileged-user requests
Published Apr 9, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Essential Breadcrumbs 1.1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to escalate privileges. Patchstack does not disclose the affected handler or the state-changing request that lacks CSRF validation. Exploitation requires a privileged authenticated user to follow a malicious link, visit a crafted page, or submit an attacker-controlled form; the resulting privilege level is unspecified.
