Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This CVE affects the WordPress CMP - Coming Soon & Maintenance plugin by NiteoThemes through version 4.1.10. A privileged user could make the server send unintended requests, potentially exposing limited internal data or causing limited integrity impact. The rating is medium, but it matters for WordPress sites where administrator accounts may be shared, compromised, or weakly governed.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate WordPress platform risk. It is not cited as actively exploited and needs high privileges, but SSRF can matter if an administrator account is compromised. Prioritize inventory, plugin update status, and admin access hygiene across public WordPress properties.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-918 server-side request forgery in cmp-coming-soon-maintenance through 4.1.10. CVSS 3.1 is 5.5 with network access, low complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, changed scope, and low confidentiality and integrity impact. The provided bundle does not name a fixed version or detailed remediation.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress installations running NiteoThemes CMP - Coming Soon & Maintenance plugin versions through 4.1.10. The CVSS vector requires high privileges, so risk is highest where WordPress admin access is weakly controlled or already compromised.
Exploitation context
The source bundle says KEV is false and provides no cited evidence of active exploitation. Because high privileges are required, practical abuse would likely depend on a malicious or compromised privileged WordPress account. No exploit steps or weaponization details are included in the provided sources.
Researcher notes
The evidence is concise: CVE and Patchstack identify SSRF in the plugin through 4.1.10, with CVSS 5.5 and CWE-918. The bundle does not provide endpoint details, proof-of-concept status, exploit telemetry, fixed version, or vendor mitigation text, so conclusions should remain bounded to those facts.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for CMP - Coming Soon & Maintenance through version 4.1.10.
- Check NiteoThemes and Patchstack guidance for a fixed version or vendor mitigation.
- Update the plugin if a vendor-supported fixed release is available.
- Temporarily disable or remove the plugin where business use permits.
- Limit WordPress administrator access to trusted, MFA-protected accounts.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the plugin is installed and record its exact version.
- Verify whether any site runs version 4.1.10 or earlier.
- Review privileged WordPress accounts for unnecessary access or weak authentication.
- Check outbound server logs for unusual requests from affected WordPress hosts.
- Document vendor guidance reviewed and remediation decisions taken.

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
