1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires that the WordPress site run the Web Accessibility By accessiBe plugin version 2.10 or earlier, and that an authenticated administrator be tricked into clicking an attacker-supplied link or visiting a malicious page while their WordPress session is active (UI:R). The affected AJAX actions - accessibe_signup, accessibe_login, accessibe_license_trial, accessibe_modify_config, and accessibe_add_verification_page - lack nonce validation, so no attacker authentication is needed, but the mandatory admin interaction and the integrity-only impact (settings modification and verification-file creation, no data exposure or RCE) sharply limit realistic exploitation.

Impact

This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite being remotely reachable. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N = 4.3 Medium) describes a classic CSRF: although PR:N marks it 'unauthenticated,' exploitation is gated on UI:R - an authenticated administrator must be socially engineered into clicking an attacker-controlled link while logged in. The impact is capped at I:L (low integrity, no confidentiality or availability loss), consistent with tampering with plugin settings and dropping verification files rather than code execution. All signals converge toward low real-world risk: EPSS is 0.16% (5th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code was identified. No signals conflict - the low EPSS, absent KEV, and modest technical impact all agree. The only nuance is the PR:N/UI:R combination, which can read as 'unauthenticated' at a glance but in practice requires an admin victim and a successful phishing step, so it is far less automatable than a true no-interaction remote flaw.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious web page or email link containing a hidden auto-submitting form targeting one of the unprotected AJAX endpoints (e.g. accessibe_modify_config or accessibe_add_verification_page). While logged into WordPress, a site administrator visits the page or clicks the link, and their browser silently submits the forged request, altering accessiBe plugin configuration or planting a verification file. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and success depends entirely on tricking an authenticated admin.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 01, 2026

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in the Web Accessibility By accessiBe WordPress plugin up to version 2.10 allows unauthenticated attackers to alter plugin settings and create verification files if they can trick a logged-in administrator into clicking a crafted link. The vulnerability exists because several AJAX actions lack nonce validation, and while it is remotely reachable, the mandatory admin interaction and integrity-only impact keep the risk low; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified, and the EPSS score is 0.16% (low risk).

RemediationAI

Update the accessiBe plugin to the latest available version. An upstream fix is available via a WordPress plugin changeset (see reference), but a released patched version number is not independently confirmed; check the plugin page for a version greater than 2.10, presumably 2.11 or later. If immediate update is not possible, consider deactivating the plugin (trade-off: loss of accessibility features) or restricting access to wp-admin via IP allowlisting (trade-off: may hinder legitimate remote administration). Because exploitation requires an administrator to click a crafted link, reinforce user awareness and consider browser extensions or WAF rules that block CSRF requests lacking nonces, though such measures may introduce false positives. Refer to the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/e3aac40c-1576-45b5-90f8-14ff05c089c7?source=cve) for additional details.

Affected ProductsAI

The Web Accessibility By accessiBe plugin for WordPress is affected in all versions up to and including 2.10. No official CPE identifiers are provided, but the plugin slug is 'accessibe'. The vulnerability is documented in the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/e3aac40c-1576-45b5-90f8-14ff05c089c7?source=cve and a WordPress plugin repository changeset at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3376235%40accessibe&new=3376235%40accessibe&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This is a classic Cross-Site Request Forgery (CWE-352) affecting the WordPress plugin 'Web Accessibility By accessiBe'. The plugin exposes AJAX actions-accessibe_signup, accessibe_login, accessibe_license_trial, accessibe_modify_config, and accessibe_add_verification_page-that perform state-changing operations such as updating settings or creating verification files. These actions are missing WordPress nonce validation, the standard defense against CSRF. Consequently, an attacker can craft a request that, when executed in the browser of an authenticated administrator (via a link or malicious page), performs the action with the administrator's privileges. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) confirms network-based attack, no attacker authentication (PR:N), required user interaction (UI:R), and limited integrity impact. No CPE data is available, but the affected component is clearly the accessiBe plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.10.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Web Accessibility By accessiBe plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.10. This is due to missing nonce validation on multiple AJAX actions including accessibe_signup, accessibe_login, accessibe_license_trial, accessibe_modify_config, and accessibe_add_verification_page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings and create verification files via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
