webriti Leo theme: Cross-Site Request Forgery in WordPress theme
Summary
The Leo multipurpose WordPress theme by webriti contains a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) flaw in all versions up to and including 1.7.4. An attacker can craft a malicious page that causes a logged-in user to perform unintended actions on the site, such as changing settings or passwords. Exploitation requires a privileged user to visit an attacker-controlled page, and the impact depends on the rights of the victim account, typically an administrator.
Affected
- webriti Leo WordPress theme, all versions up to and including 1.7.4
- Earlier versions from 0 are also in scope
Fixed in
Unknown. No patched version has been published as of the sources reviewed; 1.7.4 is the latest listed release on WordPress.org.
Workaround
- No vendor workaround published.
- Limit administrator and editor accounts.
- Log out of WordPress admin sessions before browsing other websites.
- Enforce two-factor authentication on WordPress admin logins.
- Restrict /wp-admin by IP address where practical.
Exploitation
- Not known to be exploited in the wild, per OffSeq.
- Not listed in CISA KEV as far as verified.
- VulDB reports no available exploit; no public proof of concept found.
Our recommendation
- Identify all sites running the Leo theme at version 1.7.4 or lower.
- Plan a migration to a maintained theme, as the vendor is unlikely to publish a fix.
- Until then, reduce the number of admin accounts, enforce 2FA and have admins log out when browsing other sites.
- Check whether the parent theme Wallstreet (CVE-2026-39718) or other webriti themes are installed and patched.
- Monitor the Patchstack entry and the vendor for a fixed release and update promptly.
- Priority: medium to high for sites with several admins or customer data; lower for single-admin sites with 2FA.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
