CVE-2026-4140
CWE-352Published: April 22, 2026· Updated: Apr 22, 2026
Official Description
The Ni WooCommerce Order Export plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to and including 3.1.6. This is due to missing nonce validation in the ni_order_export_action() AJAX handler function. The handler processes settings updates when the 'page' parameter is set to 'nioe-order-settings', delegating to Ni_Order_Setting::page_ajax() which calls update_option('ni_order_export_option', $_REQUEST) without verifying any nonce or checking user capabilities. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the plugin's settings via a forged request, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking a link.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-4140 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
