CVE-2025-9625Network attack vector

Admin-triggered CSS selector detection via missing nonce

Published Nov 18, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

CSRF in Coil Web Monetization 2.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger CSS selector detection through a forged request. The maybe_restrict_content function handles the coil-get-css-selector parameter without valid nonce verification and invokes selector-detection logic. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to act on a crafted link, causing an unintended plugin operation.
