What is CVE-2026-7562?
CVE-2026-7562 is a medium-severity vulnerability in phkcorp2005 WP-Redirection, published on 12 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
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.
Weakness: CWE-352
