Configuration modification via missing nonce validation

Published Oct 11, 2025 · Updated Oct 11, 2025

Cross-site request forgery in softwud Page Blocks 1.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to modify widget page block configurations. The admin_process_widget_page_change function processes a widget page change without valid WordPress nonce verification. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to submit an attacker-forged request, such as by clicking a crafted link; the resulting change is limited to widget page block configuration.
