Stored script injection via nonce-free settings update
Published Sep 30, 2025 · Updated Sep 30, 2025
Cross-site request forgery in LockerPress – WordPress Security Plugin 1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject stored scripts. The settings handler in core.php accepts state-changing input without validating a WordPress nonce, and login_url.php renders the stored value without escaping. A logged-in site administrator must submit the forged request, which changes plugin settings and persists attacker-controlled script content.
