Description

CVE-2026-16613 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the GDPR Cookie Compliance WordPress plugin before version 5.1.0. The flaw allows an attacker to log out any user and delete the site's cookies by tricking them into clicking a crafted link. This occurs because the plugin expires visitor cookies via an unauthenticated action without verifying the request origin. The vulnerability has a medium severity score of 4.3 and does not impact confidentiality or integrity but affects availability by causing user logouts.
