{"cve":"CVE-2026-1165","nvd":{"published":"2026-01-31T15:15:50.480","modified":"2026-06-17T10:15:15.153","status":"Deferred","description":"The Popup Box plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.1. This is due to a flawed nonce implementation in the 'publish_unpublish_popupbox' function that verifies a self-created nonce rather than one submitted in the request. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the publish status of popups via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking a link.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","score":4.3},"cwes":["CWE-352"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ays-popup-box/tags/6.1.0/admin/partials/ays-pb-admin-display.php#L22","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ays-popup-box/tags/6.1.0/includes/lists/class-ays-pb-list-table.php#L701","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3439514@ays-popup-box/tags/6.1.1/&new=3444612@ays-popup-box/tags/6.1.2/","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/585a9eb4-f394-4cb2-9050-659171a994d9?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:22:27.261130201+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-1165","score":0.00188,"percentile":0.08457,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
