CVE-2026-7562: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in phkcorp2005 WP-Redirection
The WP-Redirection plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to and including 1.0.3. This is due to the absence of a nonce field in the admin settings form and the lack of any nonce verification (via check_admin_referer() or wp_verify_nonce()) in the displayWPRedirectionManagementPage() function before processing POST requests that add, edit, or delete URL redirection rules. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trick a logged-in administrator into clicking a crafted link, causing the attacker to create, modify, or delete redirection records in the plugin's database table without the administrator's consent.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-7562 describes a CSRF vulnerability in the WP-Redirection plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 1.0.3. The plugin's admin settings form lacks a nonce field, and the displayWPRedirectionManagementPage() function does not verify nonces before processing POST requests that add, edit, or delete redirection rules. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to exploit a logged-in administrator's session to manipulate redirection records in the plugin's database without authorization.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause a logged-in WordPress administrator to unknowingly perform actions that alter URL redirection rules, potentially redirecting users to malicious sites or disrupting site navigation. The impact is limited to integrity of redirection data with no direct confidentiality or availability impact reported. The CVSS score of 4.3 reflects a medium severity with low complexity and no privileges required but requiring user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, administrators should avoid clicking untrusted links while logged into WordPress and consider disabling or replacing the WP-Redirection plugin. Implementing manual nonce verification or other CSRF protections in the plugin code can mitigate the risk if feasible.
