CVE-2026-6405 Details
Description
The Anomify AI – Anomaly Detection and Alerting plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in versions up to and including 0.3.6. This is due to missing nonce verification on the settings page handler and insufficient output escaping in the admin_options.php template. The settings form includes no wp_nonce_field() and the handler performs no check_admin_referer() check, meaning any cross-origin POST can modify plugin settings. The API key field is sanitized only with sanitize_text_field(), which strips HTML tags but does not encode double-quote characters; the value is then rendered into an HTML attribute via bare echo without esc_attr(), allowing a double-quote attribute-escape payload to survive both sanitization and storage. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts by tricking a logged-in administrator into visiting a malicious page that submits a forged request, storing the payload in the database and causing it to execute in the administrator's browser whenever the plugin settings page is visited.
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in the Anomify AI – Anomaly Detection and Alerting plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 0.3.6. The vulnerability allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to the absence of nonce verification on the settings page handler and inadequate output escaping in the admin_options.php template. The settings form fails to include a nonce field, and the handler does not perform a referer check, enabling cross-origin POST requests to alter plugin settings. The API key field is only sanitized with a basic text sanitation function, which removes HTML tags but does not encode double-quote characters. This unsanitized value is then directly echoed into an HTML attribute without proper escaping, allowing injection of scripts that are executed in the administrator's browser when the settings page is accessed.
