What is CVE-2026-3140?

The Ultimate Dashboard plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). This vulnerability arises from a flawed nonce validation in the 'handle_module_actions' function, enabling attackers to toggle plugin modules on or off. The attack requires tricking a site administrator into executing a crafted request, which could lead to unauthorized changes in the plugin's configurations.
