CVE-2026-3552 Details
Description
The SurfLink - Ultimate Link Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data modification due to a missing capability check on the ajax_import_410() function in all versions up to 2.6.0. This is due to a missing capability check (current_user_can()) and missing nonce verification (check_ajax_referer()) in the ajax_import_410() function, while all other AJAX handlers in the same class (ajax_add_single_410, ajax_save_editted_410, ajax_delete_410, ajax_bulk_410_delete, ajax_empty_410, ajax_export_410) properly implement both authorization and nonce checks. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to import arbitrary URLs into the 410 Gone database table via the surfl_import_410 AJAX action. Injected URLs will cause the site to return HTTP 410 Gone responses to all visitors accessing those paths, potentially causing denial of service for legitimate pages and SEO damage through search engine delisting.
A vulnerability exists in the SurfLink - Ultimate Link Manager WordPress plugin, all versions prior to 2.6.0. The issue stems from a missing capability check and nonce verification in the 'ajax_import_410' function. This flaw allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level access and above to import arbitrary URLs into the 410 Gone database. The injected URLs will cause the site to return HTTP 410 Gone responses for those paths, potentially disrupting access to legitimate pages and harming SEO by leading to removal from search engine listings.
Users are advised to update the SurfLink WordPress plugin to version 2.6.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
