MetaMagic SEO Plugin <= 1.6 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Plugin Settings Update via Settings Page

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 19.05.2026 Published: 27.05.2026 Updated: 27.05.2026

The MetaMagic SEO Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.6. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the metamagic_update_options function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's SEO settings, including enabling or disabling the plugin and toggling description and keyword meta tag output via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
