• Severity: medium (CVSS 6.1 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2025-01-18 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-352

Description

The WP Abstracts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.2. This is due to missing nonce validation on the wpabstracts_load_status() and wpabstracts_delete_abstracts() functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Affected products

• Kevon Adonis WP Abstracts: before 2.7.3 — fixed in 2.7.3

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Kevon Adonis WP Abstracts 2.7.3. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
