CVE-2026-7533: Easy Digital Downloads <= 3.6.7 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Payment Account Hijacking via 'square_tokens' Parameter

Published May 28, 2026

Updated

The Easy Digital Downloads plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.7. This is due to missing nonce verification in the handleoauthredirect() function, which is registered on the admininit hook and processes Square OAuth tokens from a user-supplied GET parameter without any CSRF token validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the store's Square payment gateway credentials by tricking a logged-in administrator into clicking a crafted link, potentially resulting in payment account hijacking.
