Settings reset via missing nonce validation
Published May 20, 2026 · Updated May 20, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in jay_patel Remove Yellow BGBOX 1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to reset the plugin's stored settings. The rybb_api_settings page processes a state-changing request without valid WordPress nonce verification, allowing a forged request to overwrite the stored configuration. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to follow a malicious link or otherwise submit the attacker's request.
