CVE-2026-1215: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in messagemetric MMA Call Tracking
The MMA Call Tracking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.15. This is due to missing nonce validation when saving plugin configuration on the `mma_call_tracking_menu` admin page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify call tracking configuration settings 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-2026-1215 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the MMA Call Tracking plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 2.3.15. The vulnerability stems from the absence of nonce validation on the `mma_call_tracking_menu` admin page, which is responsible for saving the plugin's configuration settings. Nonce validation is a critical security control in WordPress that prevents unauthorized commands from being executed by ensuring that requests originate from legitimate users. Without this protection, an attacker can craft a malicious request that, when executed by an authenticated administrator (e.g., by clicking a specially crafted link), modifies the plugin's call tracking configuration without the administrator's intent or knowledge. The attack vector requires no prior authentication by the attacker but does require user interaction from an admin-level user, making it a targeted but feasible threat. The vulnerability impacts the integrity of the plugin's configuration but does not directly affect confidentiality or availability. The CVSS v3.1 score of 4.3 reflects this medium severity, emphasizing the low complexity of attack but limited impact scope. No public exploits have been reported, but the risk remains significant for sites relying on this plugin for marketing analytics and call tracking. The absence of a patch link suggests that a fix may still be pending or in development, underscoring the importance of interim mitigations.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized modification of call tracking configurations, potentially disrupting marketing analytics and call attribution processes. Such disruptions can impair decision-making based on inaccurate data, affecting marketing ROI and customer engagement strategies. Additionally, attackers could leverage configuration changes to insert malicious URLs or redirect calls, potentially facilitating fraud or data leakage. Although the vulnerability does not directly compromise sensitive data confidentiality or system availability, the integrity breach can have cascading effects on business operations reliant on accurate call tracking. Organizations with high dependency on WordPress-based marketing tools are particularly vulnerable. The requirement for administrator interaction means that social engineering or phishing campaigns targeting admins could increase the likelihood of exploitation. Given the widespread use of WordPress in Europe, especially among SMEs and marketing agencies, the impact could be significant if not addressed promptly.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should immediately audit their WordPress installations to identify the presence of the MMA Call Tracking plugin and verify its version. Until an official patch is released, administrators should restrict access to the WordPress admin dashboard to trusted networks and users only, employing IP whitelisting or VPN access where feasible. Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for admin accounts can reduce the risk of compromised credentials facilitating exploitation. Educate administrators about the risks of clicking unknown or suspicious links, especially those that could trigger configuration changes. Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block suspicious POST requests targeting the plugin's configuration endpoints. Additionally, site owners can implement custom nonce validation or security plugins that enforce CSRF protections on all admin pages. Regular backups of plugin configurations should be maintained to enable quick restoration in case of unauthorized changes. Monitoring logs for unusual admin activity related to the plugin can help detect attempted or successful exploitation.
