- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2023-11-30 · Updated: 2026-04-08

## Affected

- qriouslad Debug Log Manager – Conveniently Monitor and Inspect Errors: through 2.2.1

## Description

The Debug Log Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation on the clear_log() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to clear the debug log via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
