CVE-2026-24962

Vulnerability

Overview

The Sigmize WordPress plugin, versions 0.0.9 and earlier, contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability [1]. The root cause is the lack of proper CSRF token validation or other anti-forgery mechanisms on sensitive actions, allowing attackers to craft malicious requests that execute under the identity of an authenticated administrator or other privileged user.

Exploitation

Details

Exploitation requires user interaction — a privileged user must click a malicious link, visit a crafted page, or submit a form designed by the attacker [1]. The attack does not require any special privileges from the attacker; however, the victim's session must be active when the forged request is made. This makes CSRF a dependency on social engineering or other techniques to deliver the payload to the victim.

Impact

A successful CSRF attack can force the victim to perform unwanted actions while authenticated, such as changing plugin settings, deleting content, or adding rogue users, depending on the affected endpoints [1]. The CVSS score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects the need for user interaction and the limited scope, but the risk increases if the plugin is used across many sites in mass-exploit campaigns.

Mitigation

The vulnerability is patched in version 0.0.10 of the Sigmize plugin [1]. Users should update immediately. Patchstack users can enable auto-updates for vulnerable plugins. No workaround is documented; updating is the recommended action.
