Forced administrative actions via missing nonce validation
Published Jun 20, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in WP Front User Submit / Front Editor 5.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to force administrative actions. The affected request handler accepts a state-changing request without valid WordPress nonce verification, but public sources do not name the function or exact action. Exploitation requires a logged-in privileged user to open a crafted link or page; the precise integrity change or interruption mode remains undisclosed.
