Impact
Missing or incorrect nonce validation for the wprequal_reset_defaults action in the WPrequal plugin for WordPress creates a CSRF flaw that lets an unauthenticated attacker trick an administrator into resetting the plugin’s settings to defaults. This disrupts loan‑capture operations and can expose sensitive configuration data. The weakness is identified as CWE‑352.
Affected Systems
All WPrequal installations by Kevin‑Brent running WordPress plugin version 8.2.11 or earlier are vulnerable. Versions newer than 8.2.11 include the necessary nonce check and are not affected.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 4.3 marks the issue as moderate severity, and the EPSS score of below 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Nonetheless, an attacker can send a crafted link to an administrator, causing the settings to be reset and potentially leading to operational disruption. The risk is moderate but should not be ignored in critical loan‑processing environments.
