DescriptionCVE.org

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in John James Jacoby WP Media Categories wp-media-categories allows Cross Site Request Forgery.This issue affects WP Media Categories: from n/a through <= 2.1.0.

AnalysisAI

Cross-Site Request Forgery in the WP Media Categories plugin for WordPress allows unauthenticated attackers to trick a logged-in administrator into making unauthorized requests, potentially altering media category settings. The vulnerability affects versions up to 2.1.0 and has a low integrity impact with no confidentiality or availability loss. No evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code exists, and the EPSS probability is extremely low (0.02%).

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lies in the WP Media Categories WordPress plugin, identified as CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery), indicating missing or insufficient anti-CSRF tokens (nonces) on state-changing requests. The plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:johnjamesjacoby:wp_media_categories:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:* up to 2.1.0) fails to verify that admin-initiated actions are intentional, allowing forged requests via a targeted user's authenticated session. This is a common web application security flaw where the server does not distinguish between legitimate and maliciously crafted requests.

Affected ProductsAI

WP Media Categories plugin for WordPress versions from n/a through 2.1.0 are affected. The vulnerable component is identified as cpe:2.3:a:johnjamesjacoby:wp_media_categories:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:*. The Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/wp-media-categories/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-media-categories-plugin-2-1-0-cross-site-request-forgery-csrf-vulnerability?_s_id=cve details the issue and should be consulted for exact version information and a fix.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to a patched version of the WP Media Categories plugin beyond 2.1.0 as outlined in the Patchstack advisory (see link above). If no updated version is available, consider disabling the plugin until a fix is released. As a temporary workaround, administrators should avoid clicking untrusted links while logged into WordPress; however, this is not a robust control. Monitor the vendor's plugin page or the Patchstack advisory for official remediation guidance.
