Technical summary

The WPSubscription plugin for WordPress contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerability due to insufficient validation of request origin. Affected versions through 1.9.1 fail to properly verify that state-changing requests originate from legitimate user actions. An attacker can craft a malicious web page that, when visited by an authenticated WordPress administrator, submits unauthorized requests to the WPSubscription plugin endpoints. The attack requires user interaction (clicking a link or visiting a page) but does not require authentication bypass or privilege escalation. Successful exploitation could result in unauthorized modification of subscription settings or data. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-352 with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium).

Defensive priority

  • Review WordPress admin sessions for unauthorized subscription-related changes during the exposure window
  • Consider implementing additional SameSite cookie policies and Content Security Policy headers as defense-in-depth measures
  • Monitor for plugin updates through WordPress admin dashboard or vendor security advisories
