This is due to missing capability checks in the get_ads_access_token() and reset_experience() AJAX handlers. While the mi-admin-nonce is localized on all admin pages (including profile.php which subscribers can access), and while other similar AJAX endpoints in the same class properly check for the exactmetrics_save_settings capability, these two endpoints only verify the nonce. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve valid Google Ads access tokens and reset Google Ads integration settings."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Primary", "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": "Primary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-862"}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp/tags/9.0.3/includes/admin/admin-assets.php#L196", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp/tags/9.0.3/includes/ppc/google/class-exactmetrics-google-ads.php#L167", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp/tags/9.0.3/includes/ppc/google/class-exactmetrics-google-ads.php#L243", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp/trunk/includes/admin/admin-assets.php#L196", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp/trunk/includes/ppc/google/class-exactmetrics-google-ads.php#L167", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp/trunk/includes/ppc/google/class-exactmetrics-google-ads.php#L243", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3513041%40google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp&new=3513041%40google-analytics-dashboard-for-wp&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=", "source": "[email protected]"}, {"url": "https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/6a4359e4-5843-4d2c-b288-5c35f819241a?source=cve", "source": "[email protected]"}]}}
