CVE-2026-7562
At a glance
CVE-2026-7562 is a medium-severity Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the WP-Redirection WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.0.3. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. No fixed release has been reported yet; treat installations running this software as exposed. Disclosed May 2026, reported by Muhammad Nur Ibnu Hubab.
Vulnerability Overview
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.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site.
CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
WP-Redirection <= 1.0.3 carries this weakness at check_admin_referer(), and reaching it takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Cross-site request forgery abuses the fact that browsers attach a victim's cookies to any request, so a state-changing action that only checks who you are, not whether you meant to act, can be triggered from another site.
An attacker who gets a logged-in user to load a crafted page can perform that action as them, with the impact scaling to whatever the victim's role is allowed to do. No fixed build of this plugin is recorded for WP-Redirection yet, so installs running <= 1.0.3 stay exposed until the vendor ships one.
Remediation
No known patch available. Please review the vulnerability's details in depth and employ mitigations based on your organization's risk tolerance. It may be best to uninstall the affected software and find a replacement.
How does WordSec protect against this?
The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to WP-Redirection: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. No patched version is recorded yet, which is the case where a filtering layer matters most, because there is nothing to update to.
