CVE-2026-10552: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in jotis Blue Captcha
The Blue Captcha plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to and including 2.0.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the main admin panel (blcap_main_page) and on the Hall of Shame and Log subpages, which accept a 'blcap_action' / 'action' parameter from $_REQUEST and perform destructive operations (plugin uninstall via blcap_uninstall(), log deletion via blcap_delete_logs(), Hall of Shame deletion via blcap_delete_ip_db(), and adding IPs to the banned list via update_option('blcap_settings')) with no wp_verify_nonce(), check_admin_referer(), or check_ajax_referer() calls anywhere in the codebase. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to uninstall the plugin, delete audit logs, remove Hall of Shame entries, and add arbitrary IP addresses to the block list via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-10552 describes a CSRF vulnerability in the Blue Captcha WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 2.0.1). The vulnerability arises because the plugin's main admin panel and certain subpages accept parameters from $_REQUEST to perform sensitive operations without implementing nonce verification functions like wp_verify_nonce(), check_admin_referer(), or check_ajax_referer(). Consequently, an attacker can craft malicious requests that, if executed by an authenticated administrator, result in destructive actions such as plugin uninstallation, audit log deletion, Hall of Shame entry removal, and modification of the banned IP list.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause integrity impacts by forcing an administrator to perform unauthorized actions that alter plugin state and data. These include uninstalling the plugin, deleting audit logs, removing Hall of Shame entries, and adding arbitrary IP addresses to the block list. There is no direct confidentiality or availability impact reported. The attack requires tricking an authenticated administrator into executing the malicious request (UI:R).
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators should avoid clicking on untrusted links while logged into the WordPress admin panel and consider restricting access to the plugin's admin pages. Implementing nonce verification in the plugin code is necessary to fully mitigate this vulnerability once a patch is released.
