CVE-2026-1070

The Alex User Counter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 6.0. This is due to missing nonce validation on the alex_user_counter_function() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin settings via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Summary		(es) El plugin Alex User Counter para WordPress es vulnerable a la falsificación de petición en sitios cruzados en todas las versiones hasta la 6.0, inclusive. Esto se debe a la falta de validación de nonce en la función alex_user_counter_function(). Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados actualicen la configuración del plugin a través de una petición falsificada, siempre que puedan engañar a un administrador del sitio para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace.
