CVE-2026-8418
Games Catalog <= 1.2.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Arbitrary Game/Post Deletion
Description
The Games Catalog plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the gc_crud() function which handles the delete action (action=delete) via a GET request without any wp_verify_nonce() / check_admin_referer() call. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary game catalog entries (including the associated WordPress post created for the game) via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: plugin de WordPress Games Catalog, Description: El plugin Games Catalog para WordPress es vulnerable a falsificación de petición en sitios cruzados en versiones hasta la 1.2.0, inclusive. Esto se debe a la validación de nonce faltante o incorrecta en la función gc_crud() que maneja la acción de eliminación (action=delete) a través de una petición GET sin ninguna llamada a wp_verify_nonce() / check_admin_referer(). Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados eliminen entradas arbitrarias del catálogo de juegos (incluyendo la publicación de WordPress asociada creada para el juego) 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. -
