FKIE_CVE-2026-8418
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-20 02:16 - Updated: 2026-07-23 20:10
Severity
Summary
The Games Catalog plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the gc_crud() function which handles the delete action (action=delete) via a GET request without any wp_verify_nonce() / check_admin_referer() call. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary game catalog entries (including the associated WordPress post created for the game) via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

"value": "El plugin Games Catalog para WordPress es vulnerable a falsificaci\u00f3n de petici\u00f3n en sitios cruzados en versiones hasta la 1.2.0, inclusive. Esto se debe a la validaci\u00f3n de nonce faltante o incorrecta en la funci\u00f3n gc_crud() que maneja la acci\u00f3n de eliminaci\u00f3n (action=delete) a trav\u00e9s de una petici\u00f3n GET sin ninguna llamada a wp_verify_nonce() / check_admin_referer(). Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados eliminen entradas arbitrarias del cat\u00e1logo de juegos (incluyendo la publicaci\u00f3n de WordPress asociada creada para el juego) a trav\u00e9s de una petici\u00f3n falsificada, siempre que puedan enga\u00f1ar a un administrador del sitio para que realice una acci\u00f3n como hacer clic en un enlace."
