Unauthorized actions via improper nonce validation
Published May 7, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Simple Giveaways 2.49.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger unauthorized actions. A request-handling function omits or incorrectly performs WordPress nonce validation, so a forged request executes with an administrator's active session; the exact function and action are undisclosed. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to click a malicious link, visit a crafted page, or submit a forged form, and the published impact is limited to that unauthorized action.
