CVE-2026-4141 edckwt CVE debrief

The Quran Translations plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in all versions up to, and including, 1.7. This is due to missing nonce validation in the quran_playlist_options() function that handles the plugin's settings page. The function processes POST requests to update plugin options via update_option() without any wp_nonce_field() in the form or wp_verify_nonce()/check_admin_referer() verification before processing. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this by tricking a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link, allowing them to modify plugin settings. This could lead to unauthorized changes to display options for PDF, RSS, podcast, media player links, playlist title, and playlist code.

Who should care

Administrators of WordPress installations with the Quran Translations plugin version 1.7 or earlier should prioritize updating to a patched version. Site administrators and security teams should review the plugin's settings and ensure that they have not been modified. They should also educate users on the risks of clicking on suspicious links and implement additional monitoring for changes to plugin settings.

Technical summary

The Quran Translations plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) due to missing nonce validation in the quran_playlist_options() function. This function processes POST requests to update plugin options via update_option() without any wp_nonce_field() in the form or wp_verify_nonce()/check_admin_referer() verification before processing. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this by tricking a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link, allowing them to modify plugin settings.
