Forced privileged actions via forged requests
Published Jul 23, 2026 · Updated Jul 23, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in Melapress WP Activity Log 5.6.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to force unwanted privileged actions. Patchstack has not disclosed the affected request handler or the precise request-validation failure, so the available record does not identify specific state changes. Exploitation requires a logged-in privileged user to follow a malicious link, visit a crafted page, or submit a form; the resulting action uses that user's WordPress permissions.
