- Severity: CVSS 8.8 (High), CISA-ADP
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 6.0.8, 8.2.8
- Published: 2026-10-01 · Updated: 2026-10-01

## Affected

- Unknown Featured Image from URL (FIFU): from 6.0.0, fixed in 6.0.8
- Unknown Featured Image from URL (FIFU) Premium: from 6.8.0, fixed in 8.2.8

## Description

The Featured Image from URL (FIFU) WordPress plugin before 6.0.8, Featured Image from URL (FIFU) Premium WordPress plugin before 8.2.8 do not correctly enforce the REST API nonce, disabling the check for the whole request when a crafted URL is used, which could allow attackers to make a logged-in administrator perform any REST API action, such as creating a new administrator account, via a CSRF attack.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Unknown Featured Image from URL (FIFU), Unknown Featured Image from URL (FIFU) Premium, upgrade to a fixed version (6.0.8, 8.2.8) per the references below.
