Bricks theme vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery

CVE-2023-3408

What is CVE-2023-3408?

The Bricks theme for WordPress accommodates a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability due to inadequate nonce validation in its 'save_settings' function. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit this weakness and manipulate the theme's settings. Specifically, it could enable them to permit lower-privileged users, including contributors, to execute code, provided they successfully deceive a site administrator into performing an action like clicking on a malicious link. Website administrators must secure their installations to prevent such unauthorized modifications and potential exploitations.
