CVE-2026-6395: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in winking Word 2 Cash

VulnerabilityCVE-2026-6395cvecve-2026-6395cwe-352
Published: Wed May 20 2026 (05/20/2026, 01:25:56 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: winking
Product: Word 2 Cash

Description

The Word 2 Cash plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to and including 0.9.2. This is due to the complete absence of nonce verification on the settings save handler in the w2c_admin() function, combined with missing input sanitization before storage and missing output escaping when rendering the stored value. The w2c-definitions POST parameter is saved raw via update_option() and later echoed without escaping inside a <textarea> element. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to forge a request on behalf of a logged-in administrator, storing arbitrary JavaScript payloads that execute in the WordPress admin panel whenever the settings page is visited.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-6395 affects the Word 2 Cash plugin for WordPress, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform CSRF attacks due to missing nonce verification in the w2c_admin() function's settings save handler. The vulnerability is exacerbated by the absence of input sanitization and output escaping for the w2c-definitions POST parameter, which is saved raw via update_option() and later echoed inside a <textarea> element. This combination permits stored XSS payloads to execute in the WordPress admin interface when the settings page is accessed by an administrator.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker to inject and store arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of the WordPress admin panel. This can lead to session hijacking, privilege escalation, or other malicious actions performed with administrator privileges. The CVSS score is 6.1 (medium severity), reflecting the network attack vector, no privileges required, and impact on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — no official fix or vendor advisory is available at this time. Until a patch is released, administrators should avoid visiting the plugin's settings page or disable the plugin to prevent exploitation. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
