CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe FleekDash V2 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to an authorization bypass, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to overwrite any user's email and password, including those of administrators. This flaw can lead to complete account takeover and site compromise, as attackers can exploit the public endpoint to self-provision accounts and obtain valid credentials. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize immediate updates to mitigate the risk of exploitation.
Original NVD Description
The FleekDash V2 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.2.2. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the email address and password of any WordPress user, including administrators, enabling full account takeover and complete site compromise. The public /wp-json/fleekdash/v1/register endpoint auto-provisions a Subscriber-role account and returns a valid REST nonce regardless of the site's users_can_register setting, enabling unauthenticated attackers to self-provision the required credentials and nonce in a single prior request.
