CVE-2026-7562: CWE-352 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in phkcorp2005 WP-Redirection
The WP-Redirection plugin for WordPress up to version 1.0.3 is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) due to missing nonce protection in its admin settings form. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trick a logged-in administrator into performing unintended actions such as creating, modifying, or deleting URL redirection rules without their consent. The issue arises because the plugin does not implement nonce verification functions before processing POST requests that alter redirection records.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-7562 is a CSRF vulnerability in the WP-Redirection WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.0.3). The vulnerability exists because the plugin's admin settings form lacks a nonce field, and the function displayWPRedirectionManagementPage() does not verify nonces before handling POST requests that add, edit, or delete redirection rules. This allows an attacker to craft a malicious link that, when clicked by an authenticated administrator, can manipulate the plugin's redirection database entries without authorization.
Potential Impact
An attacker can cause a logged-in WordPress administrator to unknowingly create, modify, or delete URL redirection rules in the WP-Redirection plugin. This could lead to unauthorized changes in site redirection behavior, potentially facilitating phishing, traffic hijacking, or other indirect impacts. There is 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 restricting access to the plugin's admin pages. Monitoring for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress plugin repository is recommended to apply any forthcoming patches promptly.
