# SEOJuice WordPress plugin: CSRF lets attackers create admin accounts

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-123046 (this .md is for agents)

The SEOJuice WordPress plugin before 2.12.0 disables WordPress's REST nonce protection site-wide, so a crafted page can make a logged-in administrator's browser run privileged REST actions. An attacker can use this to create a new administrator account on the site.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed SEOJuice plugin version in the WordPress admin Plugins screen or `wp plugin get seojuice --field=version` (unknown if the plugin slug differs)
- Review the user list for unexpected administrator accounts

## Fix

- SEOJuice WordPress plugin: upgrade to `2.12.0` or later

## Timeline

- 2026-11-14T07:27:45+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-123046

## From the sources

The SEOJuice WordPress plugin before 2.12.0 does not correctly restrict a REST API authentication filter, disabling WordPress's REST nonce protection for the whole site and allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform any cookie-authenticated REST action, including creating a new administrator account, by tricking a logged-in administrator into opening a crafted page (CSRF).
