CVE-2026-4118 Details
Description
The Call To Action Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.3. This is due to missing nonce validation in the cbox_options_page() function which handles saving, creating, and deleting plugin settings. The form rendered on the settings page does not include a wp_nonce_field(), and the save handler does not call wp_verify_nonce() or check_admin_referer() before processing settings updates via $wpdb->update(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings such as call-to-action box title, content, link URL, image URL, colors, and other configuration options via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the Call To Action Plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 3.1.3. The vulnerability arises from inadequate nonce validation in the 'cbox_options_page()' function, which manages the saving, creation, and deletion of plugin settings. The settings page form lacks a nonce field, and the save handler fails to verify the nonce or check the admin referer before updating settings via the WordPress database abstraction layer. This oversight allows unauthenticated attackers to alter various plugin settings, including the call-to-action box title, content, link URL, image URL, colors, and other configuration options, by sending a forged request that tricks a site administrator into clicking a link.
