Reflected script injection via forged settings request
Published Jun 9, 2026 · Updated Jun 9, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in WP Emoticon Rating 1.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through forged settings requests. The administrative settings handler in admin/wp-emo-admin.php accepts the emo_settings parameter without validating a WordPress nonce before updating configuration. Exploitation requires a logged-in site administrator to follow an attacker-controlled link, and the injected script executes in the resulting response.
