CVE-2026-15136 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-07-28

Vendors: WPLegalPages.

Executive brief

A vulnerability exists in the WPLP Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress, which is used to manage GDPR and CCPA compliance banners. An attacker could trick a site administrator into clicking a malicious link, allowing the attacker to delete or modify sensitive GDPR data request records. This could lead to the loss of compliance audit logs and interfere with how the site handles user privacy requests.

Technical details

The WPLP Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the process_bulk_action function. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 4.3.7. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by inducing a site administrator to perform an action, such as clicking a link, which triggers a forged request. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to permanently delete or forcibly resolve arbitrary GDPR data request records stored in the wpl_data_req database table. A patch appears to be available in version 4.3.8 based on the provided changeset references.
