Administrator-forced CSV export via missing nonce validation
Published Dec 24, 2025 · Updated Dec 24, 2025
CSRF in WP Email Capture 3.12.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger unauthorized CSV exports through an administrator's browser. The wp_email_capture_export() handler invokes the CSV export after checking login and administrator capability but without validating a request nonce. Exploitation requires a logged-in administrator to visit a crafted page or link; the resulting POST generates the subscriber-list CSV in that browser.
