Wordpress Alert: Cross-site request forgery against settings

What it looks like

A signed-in administrator visits an external page that triggers a settings change.

Why it matters

Configuration may change without the administrator intending it.

What to check

Require a nonce and the relevant capability on state-changing actions.

Documentation

This is an exploit pattern to check in installed components, not a claim that every WordPress site has this flaw. Confirm the product and version against its advisories before treating a site as affected. See WordPress nonces, WordPress roles and capabilities.
