DescriptionCVE.org

The Datalogics Ecommerce Delivery WordPress plugin before 2.6.60 exposes an unauthenticated REST endpoint that allows any remote user to modify the option datalogics_token without verification. This token is subsequently used for authentication in a protected endpoint that allows users to perform arbitrary WordPress update_option() operations. Attackers can use this to enable registartion and to set the default role as Administrator.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability in Datalogics Ecommerce Delivery WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.6.60) allows attackers to escalate privileges and gain unauthorized administrative access to affected websites. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of account takeover, data theft, and website compromise, with no vendor patch currently available.

Business Impact: Severe

Compensating Controls

Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block privilege escalation payloads targeting the vulnerability; restrict plugin access via network segmentation and IP whitelisting; disable the Datalogics plugin if operationally feasible; enforce multi-factor authentication on all WordPress administrator accounts; enable enhanced logging and monitoring on affected WordPress installations; consider disabling user registration and login features if not essential; monitor vendor security advisories for emergency patches or workarounds.
