CVE-2025-12069

What is CVE-2025-12069?

The WP Global Screen Options plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 0.2. This is due to missing nonce validation on the updatewpglobalscreenoptions action handler. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify global screen options for all users via a forged request granted they can trick an administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
