The Plugin for Google Analytics by IO technologies plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the Google Analytics settings page (ga.php). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's stored Google Analytics tracking ID option (io-ga-id) via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AnalysisAI
Cross-site request forgery in Plugin for Google Analytics by IO Technologies (WordPress) versions up to and including 1.1 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to overwrite the site's Google Analytics tracking ID by tricking a logged-in administrator into clicking a crafted link. The flaw stems from absent nonce validation on the ga.php settings handler, meaning forged POST requests bypass WordPress's standard CSRF protections entirely. No public exploit code or active exploitation (CISA KEV) has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS score of 4.3 reflects the required administrator interaction and limited integrity-only impact.
Technical ContextAI
WordPress plugins are expected to protect state-changing admin actions using nonces - cryptographic tokens tied to the current session that WordPress's wp_verify_nonce() validates before processing form submissions. CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) occurs when these tokens are missing or improperly validated, allowing an attacker's off-origin request to execute with the victim's session privileges. Here, the vulnerable surface is ga.php (confirmed via plugins.trac.wordpress.org), specifically the settings page that writes the io-ga-id option (the Google Analytics tracking ID) to the WordPress options table. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:engagementanalytics:plugin_for_google_analytics_by_io_technologies:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all versions up to and including 1.1. Substituting the tracking ID with an attacker-controlled value could redirect analytics data collection to an adversary's GA property.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - no fixed version number appears in any reference or advisory. Site administrators running version 1.1 or earlier should consider deactivating and removing the plugin until a patched release is confirmed by the vendor or the WordPress plugin repository. As a compensating control, enabling a web application firewall rule that blocks cross-origin POST requests to the wp-admin settings endpoints can reduce exposure, though this may interfere with legitimate admin workflows. Monitoring the WordPress options table for unexpected changes to the io-ga-id value can serve as a detective control.
