Cotonti through 1.0.0 fails to validate anti-CSRF tokens in the contact plugin submission handler, allowing attackers to forge messages. Attackers can auto-submit contact forms from attacker-controlled pages to send forged messages attributed to authenticated victims to the administrator inbox.
CVE-2026-93873
This medium-severity CVE scores 4.3 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit-prediction score not yet available (the EPSS model rescores nightly; freshly-published CVEs typically appear within 48 hours). GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- Lower severity and no public exploit yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
