CVE-2026-8911: WP AutoBuzz <= 1.1.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'googleAccount' Parameter

• Severity: medium (CVSS 6.1 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.1% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-05-27 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-352

Description

The WP AutoBuzz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on a function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update settings and 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. This vulnerability bypasses WordPress's DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML protection because the unsanitized value is written directly via update_option at the plugin level, entirely outside of WordPress post content handling.
