CVE-2026-4071: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in birdseedapp BirdSeed
The BirdSeed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.0. This is due to missing nonce validation in the birdseed_plugin_settings_page() function. The function processes the 'birdseed_token' GET parameter and saves it to the database via update_option() without verifying a nonce. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the plugin's BirdSeed token setting via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-4071 is a CSRF vulnerability in the BirdSeed WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 2.2.0. The issue arises because the birdseed_plugin_settings_page() function processes the 'birdseed_token' GET parameter and updates the database without verifying a nonce, enabling attackers to forge requests that change plugin settings if an administrator is tricked into executing the request. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3, reflecting a medium severity with low complexity and no privileges required but requiring user interaction.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause an administrator to unknowingly change the BirdSeed token setting via a forged request. This impacts the integrity of the plugin's configuration but does not affect confidentiality or availability. There are no known exploits in the wild.
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 untrusted links and consider restricting access to plugin settings to trusted users only.
