CVE-2026-8944Network attack vector

Tracking ID modification via missing nonce validation

Published Jun 30, 2026 · Updated Jun 30, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in Plugin for Google Analytics by IO technologies 1.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter its tracking ID. The ga.php settings handler accepts the ga_id request parameter and writes it to the io-ga-id WordPress option without validating a nonce. Exploitation requires an authenticated site administrator to submit the forged request, such as by clicking an attacker-controlled link, and changes only the stored analytics identifier.
