MITRE ATT&CK
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 WordPress site with Analytify Under Construction, Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode plugin versions up to 2.1.1 installed and active. Victim must be logged into WordPress admin and click attacker-crafted link. Exploit requires high attack complexity due to CSRF token validation. |
| Impact | While the CVSS base score of 7.5 rates this as high severity with potential for high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, real-world exploitation risk is moderated by several factors. The attack vector requires network access (AV:N) but has high complexity (AC:H) and mandatory user interaction (UI:R), meaning successful exploitation depends on tricking an authenticated administrator into visiting a malicious page while logged into WordPress. No privileges are required for the attacker (PR:N), but the attack cannot execute without administrator cooperation. No public exploit code exists and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation. EPSS probability data is unavailable for assessment. From an SSVC perspective, while the technical impact is high (potential configuration changes to site maintenance settings), the exploitation barrier requiring social engineering and precise timing reduces automatable exploitation potential. This represents a moderate priority for WordPress administrators using this plugin, particularly for high-value sites where administrative account compromise would be severe, but does not warrant emergency patching unless actively targeted. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker researches WordPress sites using the Under Construction plugin and identifies a target administrator through LinkedIn or site contact pages. The attacker crafts a malicious webpage containing hidden forms that auto-submit requests to the target WordPress site's plugin configuration endpoints, such as changing maintenance mode settings, modifying redirect URLs, or altering plugin configurations. The attacker sends a phishing email to the administrator with a compelling pretext to visit the malicious page while logged into their WordPress dashboard. Upon visiting the page, the victim's browser automatically submits the forged requests with their authenticated session cookies, causing unauthorized configuration changes without the administrator's knowledge or consent. No public exploit code exists, but the attack methodology is well-understood and easily reproducible by attackers familiar with CSRF exploitation techniques. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 07, 2026
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Analytify's Under Construction, Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode WordPress plugin versions up to 2.1.1 allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated administrators through social engineering. With CVSS 7.5 (high severity) and high complexity attack vector requiring user interaction, this vulnerability has no public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS data not available, not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
WordPress administrators should immediately upgrade the Analytify Under Construction, Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode plugin to the latest available version beyond 2.1.1. Vendor-released patch information and specific patched version number are not independently confirmed from available data; administrators should check the WordPress plugin repository or Analytify's official channels for the most recent secure release. As an interim mitigation, administrators can implement web application firewall rules to detect and block potential CSRF attacks, enforce strict Content Security Policy headers, and educate administrative users to avoid clicking links from untrusted sources while authenticated to WordPress admin panels. Consider temporarily disabling the plugin if not actively needed for site maintenance operations. Monitor the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/under-construction-maintenance-mode/vulnerability/wordpress-under-construction-coming-soon-maintenance-mode-plugin-2-1-1-cross-site-request-forgery-csrf-vulnerability for updated remediation guidance and confirmed patched versions.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability affects the Analytify Under Construction, Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode WordPress plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:analytify:under_construction,_coming_soon_&_maintenance_mode), a site maintenance and coming-soon page management tool. The issue stems from CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery), a security weakness where the application fails to validate that requests originate from legitimate user actions rather than malicious third-party sites. CSRF vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins typically occur when administrative functions lack proper nonce verification or anti-CSRF tokens. This allows attackers to craft malicious web pages or emails containing forged requests that, when accessed by an authenticated administrator, execute unauthorized actions such as changing plugin settings, modifying site configuration, or performing privileged operations. The plugin's maintenance mode functionality likely includes administrative endpoints that were not adequately protected against CSRF attacks.

DescriptionCVE.org
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Analytify Under Construction, Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode allows Cross Site Request Forgery.This issue affects Under Construction, Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode: from n/a through 2.1.1.
Executive ViewAI
A CSRF vulnerability in Analytify's WordPress maintenance mode plugin (versions ≤2.1.1) allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unauthorized actions, potentially compromising site configuration and security settings. Organizations running this plugin should immediately audit administrative access and implement compensating controls, as no patch is currently available from the vendor.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable plugin if not actively required; (2) Restrict WordPress admin dashboard access to internal IP ranges or VPN via WAF/reverse proxy; (3) Enforce CSRF token validation at application level if plugin cannot be disabled; (4) Require multi-factor authentication for all administrator accounts; (5) Monitor admin action logs for suspicious site configuration changes; (6) Educate administrators to avoid clicking links from untrusted sources while logged into WordPress.
