Privileged file-download action via forged request

Published Jun 15, 2026 · Updated Jun 15, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in WP Engine WP Migrate Lite 2.7.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to trigger an unwanted file-download action. The file download handler accepts a cross-origin request in a privileged user's authenticated session, but the vendor has not disclosed the exact missing validation check. Exploitation requires that privileged user to visit a crafted page or submit a malicious form; no confidentiality or integrity impact is reported.
