Stape Conversion Tracking: Server-Side Request Forgery
CVE-2026-118422 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Stape Conversion Tracking, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists version 2.3.11 as the first without the flaw, so updating Stape Conversion Tracking to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Stape Conversion Tracking to 2.3.11 or a later version.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

Official description
The Stape Conversion Tracking WordPress plugin before 2.3.11 does not validate the sub-path appended to its same-origin proxy's upstream endpoint, allowing unauthenticated visitors to redirect the server-side request to an arbitrary host and have the response body and its content type returned from the site's own origin with security response headers stripped, leading to Server-Side Request Forgery, including loopback and internal hosts, and Cross-Site Scripting.

The underlying weakness: Server-Side Request Forgery
The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- If there is a known list of applications, IP, hostname, and/or domains to which the product is allowed to communicate, then use allowlists to ensure that outgoing requests are restricted to these known entities. The allowlists could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
- If the product is expected to be able to connect to arbitrary IP addresses or domains, consider using a denylist that includes private network addresses, internal domain names, etc. The denylist could be in the application code or possibly enforced by firewalls or network segmentation.
Timeline
- CVE record published.
- CISA published its SSVC assessment (exploitation: none, automatable: no, technical impact: partial).
