CVE-2026-16613: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in GDPR Cookie Compliance
The GDPR Cookie Compliance WordPress plugin before 5.1.0 expires the visitor's cookies from an action that is reachable without authentication and performs no request-origin check, allowing an attacker to log any user out and delete the site's cookies by luring them to a crafted link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The GDPR Cookie Compliance WordPress plugin versions prior to 5.1.0 contain a CSRF vulnerability (CWE-352) where an unauthenticated action expires visitor cookies without validating the request origin. This enables an attacker to force a user logout and remove cookies by enticing the user to visit a maliciously crafted URL. No CVSS score is provided, and no official remediation or patch information is available in the provided data.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause users to be logged out of the site and have their cookies deleted without their consent. This disrupts user sessions and may degrade user experience or site functionality relying on cookies. There is no indication of further privilege escalation or data disclosure from this vulnerability based on the provided information.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider restricting access to the vulnerable action or implementing custom CSRF protections if possible.
