Is Truefy Embed safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

Status: Closed 2025-12-09
Known issues on record: 1
Unpatched in latest: 0

What to do

Replace it. A closed plugin gets no updates through WordPress, so any hole found from now on stays open.
Deactivate and delete it once you have a replacement (Plugins → Deactivate → Delete). Deleting removes its files; deactivating alone leaves them on the server.
If you ran a vulnerable version and something looks off (spam pages, strange admins, redirects), run the free scan, or have us clean it: Emergency Cleanup, $499.

With WP-CLI, once you have a replacement: wp plugin deactivate truefy-embed && wp plugin delete truefy-embed

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in Truefy Embed (1.1.0 and older)

Affected: 1.1.0 and older
Fixed in: unknown
Access needed (per CVSS): No login needed; someone on the site has to click a link or open a page
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence

Details from the advisory

The Truefy Embed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.0. This is due to missing nonce validation on the 'truefy_embed_options_update' settings update action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings, including the API key, via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
