| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires (1) the target WordPress site to have FunnelKit Automations plugin installed and active at version <= 3.7.3, and (2) the attacker to hold at least a subscriber-level WordPress account on the target site (PR:L) - trivially obtainable where 'Anyone can register' is enabled, otherwise requiring credential acquisition or insider access. No user interaction is required (UI:N) and the attack is delivered over the network to the WordPress HTTP interface (AV:N). Limiting factors: sites that disable open registration and have no compromised low-privilege accounts are not exposed; the specific vulnerable endpoint and any non-default plugin configuration prerequisites are not disclosed in the provided description and should be confirmed via the Patchstack advisory. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H indicates a remotely reachable, low-complexity bypass requiring only a subscriber-level account, with no confidentiality impact but low integrity and high availability impact - consistent with an attacker tampering with automation/workflow state or deleting/disrupting funnels. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC is referenced in the input, so exploitation is not confirmed in the wild. However, two signals raise the real-world priority above raw CVSS: WordPress sites frequently allow open subscriber registration, effectively collapsing PR:L toward PR:N for many deployments; and the 'Information Disclosure' tag in the input partially conflicts with the CVSS C:N rating - this discrepancy should be verified against the Patchstack advisory, as the tag may indicate a secondary disclosure pathway not reflected in the scored vector. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker registers a free subscriber account on a target WordPress site running FunnelKit Automations <= 3.7.3 (or uses an existing low-privilege account), then sends a crafted authenticated HTTP request to a plugin AJAX or REST endpoint that fails to enforce capability checks, invoking a privileged automation action such as modifying or deleting funnels, broadcasts, or contact records. The result is integrity tampering of marketing-automation state and disruption of plugin availability for the site owner. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 15, 2026
Broken authentication in the FunnelKit Automations WordPress plugin (versions <= 3.7.3) allows authenticated low-privilege users (subscribers) to bypass intended authentication controls, leading to integrity tampering and availability impact on the WordPress site. The flaw is reported by Patchstack and tracked as EUVD-2026-36929, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no CISA KEV listing. Given subscriber-level registration is open on many WordPress sites, the practical attack surface is broader than the CVSS 7.1 score alone suggests.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available per Patchstack advisory; released patched version not independently confirmed from the provided data, so administrators should upgrade FunnelKit Automations to the latest version above 3.7.3 published on the WordPress.org plugin repository and verify the changelog references this Patchstack report. Until the upgrade is applied, compensating controls include disabling open user registration in WordPress (Settings → General → 'Anyone can register') to remove the subscriber prerequisite - trade-off is blocking legitimate self-service signups; auditing existing subscriber accounts for anomalous activity and forcing password resets; and restricting access to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and the plugin's REST routes (typically under /wp-json/) at the WAF or reverse proxy to authenticated administrators where business workflows allow - trade-off is potentially breaking front-end forms that rely on the plugin's AJAX handlers.

Technical ContextAI · show details
FunnelKit Automations (formerly WP Marketing Automations, slug 'wp-marketing-automations') is a WordPress marketing-automation plugin used to build email/SMS funnels, broadcasts, and CRM-style workflows. The root cause class is CWE-288 (Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel), meaning the plugin exposes a code path that performs a security-sensitive action without re-validating the caller's effective role or capability - typical patterns in WordPress plugins include AJAX/REST endpoints registered with 'wp_ajax_' (logged-in users only, no capability check) or REST routes whose 'permission_callback' returns true or only checks is_user_logged_in(). The CPE 'cpe:2.3:a:aman:funnelkit_automations:*' covers all versions through 3.7.3 with no lower bound specified.

DescriptionCVE.org
Subscriber Broken Authentication in FunnelKit Automations <= 3.7.3 versions.
Executive ViewAI
FunnelKit Automations WordPress plugin (versions 3.7.3 and earlier) contains broken authentication allowing subscriber-level users to bypass access controls and modify site data or trigger availability impacts. Organizations running this plugin with open subscriber registration face immediate risk of unauthorized content tampering and service disruption, with no vendor patch currently available.
Restrict or disable open WordPress subscriber registration; limit subscriber role capabilities to read-only where possible; monitor and audit all subscriber account activity regularly; consider temporarily disabling the FunnelKit Automations plugin if operational impact is acceptable; implement Web Application Firewall rules to detect unusual administrative or data modification attempts from low-privilege accounts.
