CVE-2025-12410
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The SH Contextual Help plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation in the sh_contextual_help_dashboard_widget() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings and inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

"value": "El plugin SH Contextual Help para WordPress es vulnerable a la Cross-Site Request Forgery en todas las versiones hasta la 3.2.1, inclusive. Esto se debe a la validación de nonce ausente o incorrecta en la función sh_contextual_help_dashboard_widget(). Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados actualicen la configuración del plugin e inyecten scripts web maliciosos a través de una petición falsificada, siempre que puedan engañar a un administrador del sitio para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace."
