Description
The Coil Web Monetization plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the coil-get-css-selector parameter handling in the maybe_restrict_content function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trigger CSS selector detection functionality via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Coil Web Monetization plugin for WordPress contains a Cross‑Site Request Forgery flaw caused by missing or incorrect nonce validation on the coil‑get‑css‑selector parameter in the maybe_restrict_content function. An unauthenticated attacker can forge a request that triggers the CSS selector detection routine when a site administrator clicks a malicious link, allowing the attacker to invoke functionality the admin did not intend to execute. The flaw does not provide direct code execution or data disclosure but enables unauthorized action execution on the site.

Affected Systems

Vendors: interledger; Product: Coil Web Monetization WordPress plugin. All versions up to and including 2.0.2 are affected. No further sub‑version detail is supplied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a moderate impact, and the EPSS score of less than 1% implies a very low probability of exploitation at this time. The flaw is listed as not in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires a social engineering attack that convinces an administrator to visit a crafted URL, a typical CSRF scenario. The attack vector is remote via HTTP, and no local privilege escalation is required.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Coil Web Monetization plugin to the latest version that includes proper nonce validation for the coil‑get‑css‑selector action.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, temporarily disable the Coil Web Monetization plugin or remove the coil‑get‑css‑selector functionality until a patch is available.
  • Implement additional safeguards for administrator accounts, such as two‑factor authentication and IP‑based restrictions, to reduce the success rate of the social‑engineering component of the attack.
