Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in askywhale Games Catalog Plugin up to 1.2.0 on WordPress and classified as problematic. This issue affects the function gc_crud of the component GET Request Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cross-site request forgery vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-352. The web application does not, or can not, sufficiently verify whether a well-formed, valid, consistent request was intentionally provided by the user who submitted the request. Impacted is integrity. The summary by CVE is:

The Games Catalog plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the gc_crud() function which handles the delete action (action=delete) via a GET request without any wp_verify_nonce() / check_admin_referer() call. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary game catalog entries (including the associated WordPress post created for the game) via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

The weakness was released by Muhammad Nur Ibnu Hubab. It is possible to read the advisory at wordfence.com. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-8418 since 05/12/2026.
