Stored script injection via nonce-free settings update
Published May 5, 2026 · Updated May 5, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in foux Publish 2 Ping.fm 1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject stored scripts via a forged admin request. The settings handler at /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=admin.php accepts wpPingPingKey and persists it without nonce validation. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to follow a crafted link, after which the saved script executes when the settings page is rendered.
