CVE-2025-9631

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions AutoCatSet versions prior to 2.1.5

Description The plugin is susceptible to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), a flaw where an attacker tricks a victim into performing actions they did not intend to do. This occurs due to missing or incorrect nonce validation in the autocatset ajax() function. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this to trigger the automatic recategorization of posts by inducing a site administrator to click a malicious link.

Recommendations Update the plugin to a version later than 2.1.4. As a temporary mitigation, restrict access to the autocatset ajax() function.
