The "301 Redirects - Easy Redirect Manager" plugin before 2.45 for WordPress allows users (with subscriber or greater access) to modify, delete, or inject redirect rules, and exploit XSS, with the /admin-ajax.php?action=eps_redirect_save and /admin-ajax.php?action=eps_redirect_delete actions. This could result in a loss of site availability, malicious redirects, and user infections. This could also be exploited via CSRF.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

A vulnerable WordPress redirect plugin could let a low-privileged user alter site redirects or inject malicious content. Business impact includes site disruption, visitors being sent to malicious destinations, and possible user compromise through XSS.

Executive priority

Treat as urgent for affected WordPress sites because compromise can affect visitor trust, availability, and malware exposure. Prioritize internet-facing sites first.

Technical view

CVE-2019-19915 affects the 301 Redirects - Easy Redirect Manager WordPress plugin before 2.45. Subscriber-level or higher users could modify, delete, or inject redirect rules and exploit XSS through AJAX actions. The CVE also notes CSRF as a possible attack path.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running this plugin before version 2.45, especially sites allowing subscriber accounts or other low-privileged authenticated users.

Exploitation context

The bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or evidence of active exploitation. Public sources describe a critical patched vulnerability and potential outcomes, not confirmed exploitation in the wild.

Researcher notes

The CVE record provides impact and version boundary but does not enumerate CWEs. Validate authorization, CSRF exposure, and stored XSS risk only in authorized test environments without weaponizing public sites.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade 301 Redirects - Easy Redirect Manager to version 2.45 or later.
  • Remove or disable the plugin if it is not required.
  • Review redirect rules for unauthorized or suspicious entries.
  • Audit WordPress user accounts with subscriber or greater access.
  • Check vendor and Wordfence guidance for any later remediation notes.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory WordPress sites for this plugin and installed version.
  • Confirm no site is running a version before 2.45.
  • Review recent redirect-rule changes for unexpected destinations.
  • Check for suspicious low-privileged WordPress accounts.
  • Review site logs for unusual redirect-management activity.
