Input validation vulnerability in Webmaster Tools 2.0

  • Severity: medium-risk
  • Status: Open
  • Publication: October 17, 2023

The Webmaster Tools plugin for WordPress, up until version 2.0, has a security vulnerability that is known as a Cross-Site Request Forgery. This is because the plugin does not have the right type of security measures, called a nonce validation, on the lionscripts_plg_f function. This means that an unauthenticated attacker can change the plugin settings if they can get a site administrator to perform an action, such as clicking on a link.
