CVE-2026-25319 identifies a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Zita Elementor Site Library WordPress plugin, versions up to and including 1.6.6. CSRF vulnerabilities occur when a web application does not adequately verify that requests made to it originate from an authenticated and authorized user. In this case, the Zita Elementor Site Library plugin fails to implement sufficient anti-CSRF protections, allowing attackers to craft malicious web requests that, when executed by an authenticated user, can perform unauthorized actions on the website. These actions could include modifying site content, changing plugin settings, or other administrative operations depending on the privileges of the authenticated user. The vulnerability does not require the attacker to have direct access to the victim's credentials but relies on the victim being logged into the vulnerable WordPress site. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the vulnerability's nature makes it a significant risk, especially for sites with high privilege users frequently logged in. The lack of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability has not yet been fully assessed, but the technical details confirm its presence and potential impact. The plugin is widely used in WordPress environments to manage site templates and content, making the attack surface considerable. The vulnerability was published on February 19, 2026, with no patch links currently available, emphasizing the need for immediate attention from site administrators.

For European organizations, the impact of this CSRF vulnerability can be substantial. Many businesses rely on WordPress and its plugins like Zita Elementor Site Library for website management, e-commerce, and customer engagement. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized changes to website content, defacement, or disruption of services, harming brand reputation and customer trust. In worst-case scenarios, attackers could leverage the vulnerability to inject malicious content or redirect users to phishing sites, potentially leading to data breaches or financial fraud. The integrity of the affected websites is compromised, and availability could be affected if attackers disrupt site functionality. Given the GDPR and other data protection regulations in Europe, organizations may also face legal and compliance risks if customer data or services are impacted. The vulnerability's exploitation does not require complex technical skills, increasing the likelihood of attacks against less-secure or unpatched sites.

European organizations should prioritize the following mitigations: 1) Monitor the wpzita vendor announcements and apply security patches immediately once available. 2) Until patches are released, implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious CSRF attempts targeting the plugin's endpoints. 3) Enforce strict user session management and ensure that all state-changing requests require valid anti-CSRF tokens. 4) Limit administrative access and encourage the use of least privilege principles to reduce the impact of compromised accounts. 5) Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and remove or replace plugins that are no longer maintained or have known vulnerabilities. 6) Educate users and administrators about the risks of CSRF and the importance of logging out from administrative sessions when not in use. 7) Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of session hijacking that could facilitate CSRF exploitation.
