CVE-2026-4071
BirdSeed <= 2.2.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery via BirdSeed Token Change
Description
The BirdSeed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.0. This is due to missing nonce validation in the birdseed_plugin_settings_page() function. The function processes the 'birdseed_token' GET parameter and saves it to the database via update_option() without verifying a nonce. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the plugin's BirdSeed token setting via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking a link.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: plugin de WordPress BirdSeed, Description: El plugin BirdSeed para WordPress es vulnerable a la falsificación de petición en sitios cruzados en todas las versiones hasta la 2.2.0, inclusive. Esto se debe a la falta de validación de nonce en la función birdseed_plugin_settings_page(). La función procesa el parámetro GET 'birdseed_token' y lo guarda en la base de datos a través de update_option() sin verificar un nonce. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados cambien la configuración del token BirdSeed del plugin a través de una petición falsificada, siempre que puedan engañar a un administrador del sitio para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace. -
