CVE-2026-11366: MonsterInsights accepts forged empty-key configuration signatures

MonsterInsights before 11.1.0 validates an unauthenticated AJAX request with an HMAC key that is empty when the plugin is not connected to Google Analytics. An unauthenticated attacker can calculate a valid signature under that configuration and overwrite a MonsterInsights setting, disrupting server-side analytics in Manual GA4 mode. The public advisory does not disclose the AJAX action, signed fields, configuration parameter or update function.
