Security rescan via forged administrator request
Published Mar 28, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Ultimate Security Checker 4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger a security rescan. The public CNA and Patchstack advisory identify the affected operation as a security rescan but do not disclose the handler or missing request-validation check. Exploitation requires an authenticated privileged user to visit attacker-controlled content, and the documented consequence is limited to an unwanted rescan.
