Description
The Taqnix plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.3. This is due to a missing nonce verification in the taqnix_delete_my_account() function, where the check_ajax_referer() call is explicitly commented out on line 883. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trick a logged-in non-administrator user into deleting their own account via a forged request granted they can trick the user into performing an action such as clicking a link or visiting a malicious page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Taqnix WordPress plugin is vulnerable to a cross‑site request forgery flaw that allows an unauthenticated attacker to cause a logged‑in non‑administrator user to delete their own account. The vulnerability results from a missing nonce validation in the taqnix_delete_my_account() function, where the standard check_ajax_referer() call has been commented out. Because the action accepts a forged request, any page or link that an attacker can trick the user into visiting could trigger the deletion without the user’s knowledge.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the Taqnix plugin installed in any version up to and including 1.0.3 are affected. The issue resides in the server‑side AJAX endpoint taqnix_delete_my_account provided by the plugin.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 4.3, indicating a moderate severity and limited impact beyond the loss of the targeted account. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that exploitation in the wild is unlikely, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would still need to co‑ordinate a social‑engineering scenario to lure a user to a malicious request; no remote code execution or privilege escalation result from this vulnerability.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Taqnix plugin to the latest version, which restores nonce verification for the account deletion action.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable or remove the taqnix_delete_my_account AJAX endpoint, or modify it so that it performs a proper nonce check before proceeding with the deletion.
  • Implement user‑account protections such as disabling self‑deletion or requiring higher‑level authentication (e.g., multi‑factor) before any account removal can be processed.
