Technical details

A cross-site request forgery vulnerability in Patreon WordPress plugin versions up to 1.9.17 lacks proper nonce validation on state-changing requests. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious webpage or link that, when visited by an authenticated administrator, performs unauthorized actions on behalf of that user. Exploitation requires user interaction (visiting a link or page) but no special privileges on the target site beyond normal login authentication.

Affected products

Patreon WordPress patreon-connect 1.9.17 and earlier
