CVE-2026-6075
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in versions up to, and including, 3.35 This is due to missing nonce verification on the bulk action handlers in the settings tab handlers. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to trick an administrator into performing bulk delete, edit, or purge operations on plugin settings and attachment metadata via a forged request.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Media Library Assistant WordPress plugin versions up to 3.35 lack nonce verification on bulk action handlers in the settings tab, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge requests that trick administrators into performing bulk delete, edit, or purge operations on plugin settings and attachment metadata.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Media Library Assistant plugin is installedCheck your WordPress installation's wp-content/plugins directory for the media-library-assistant folder, or look for the plugin in the WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed PluginsAffected if The plugin folder media-library-assistant exists in the plugins directory

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to version 3.36 or later, which should include proper nonce verification. Alternatively, disable bulk action functionality in the settings until the patch can be applied.
Version 3.36 or later
- 1. Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard
