Unauthorized actions via missing nonce validation
Published Sep 22, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
CSRF in PureThemes WorkScout Core before 1.7.06 allows remote attackers to trigger unauthorized actions through a crafted request. The affected function is undisclosed; it omits or incorrectly applies WordPress nonce validation, so cross-origin requests inherit the administrator's session. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to visit a crafted page or link; the specific unauthorized action has not been disclosed.
