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
AnalysisAI
The LeadConnector WordPress plugin before version 3.0.22 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in a REST API endpoint, allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite existing data without authentication. This vulnerability affects an unknown vendor's LeadConnector product and has a publicly available proof-of-concept exploit, making it actively exploitable. The vulnerability enables unauthorized data manipulation, which could compromise business data integrity and customer information stored within the plugin.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the LeadConnector WordPress plugin's REST API implementation. WordPress REST routes, when improperly configured, can be exposed to unauthenticated callers if proper permission callbacks are not registered or enforced. The affected product is identified via CPE as cpe:2.3:a:unknown:leadconnector:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, indicating versions prior to 3.0.22. The root cause is a missing or inadequate authorization check on a REST endpoint, allowing any HTTP client to invoke the endpoint and modify server-side data. This falls under the authorization/access control vulnerability class, where insufficient permission validation enables privilege escalation from an unauthenticated context to a data-modification context.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade the LeadConnector WordPress plugin to version 3.0.22 or later, which patches the authorization bypass. The primary fix is to apply the vendor's official update through the WordPress plugin management interface or by downloading directly from the plugin repository. As an interim mitigation if immediate patching is not feasible, restrict REST API access to authenticated users only via WordPress configuration or web application firewall rules, disable the specific vulnerable endpoint if functionality permits, or implement IP-based access controls to limit who can reach the WordPress site. Review server logs and database audit trails for signs of unauthorized API calls or data modifications. See the WPScan vulnerability reference (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/9b88be70-b5cc-4a3f-a871-64d61cb02076/) for additional context and confirmation of the patched version.
