DescriptionCVE.org

The Privacy Policy Generator, Terms & Conditions, GDPR, CCPA, Cookie Policy & Disclaimer Templates WordPress plugin before 3.7.1 does not include an authorization check on a REST route that returns stored account data, allowing unauthenticated visitors to retrieve the connected service's API secret and account details, which can then be used to disconnect the Privacy Policy Generator, Terms & Conditions, GDPR, CCPA, Cookie Policy & Disclaimer Templates WordPress plugin before 3.7.1's integration.

AnalysisAI

Using the retrieved secret, an attacker can call the connected third-party compliance service API to sever the plugin's integration, causing GDPR, CCPA, and cookie policy documents to stop displaying on the affected WordPress site. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No authentication, user interaction, or non-default configuration is required to reach the vulnerable REST endpoint - it is registered on plugin activation and accessible from the network by default. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L) accurately captures network accessibility and zero-authentication exploitation, but the 6.5 score somewhat undersells the business risk for compliance-sensitive deployments. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update the plugin to version 3.7.1 or later, which introduces the missing authorization check on the affected REST API route; this is a vendor-released patch confirmed by WPScan at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/c1bf0335-c954-473b-af30-7f227f041790/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
