Unauthenticated Broken Access Control in Kit (formerly ConvertKit) <= 3.3.5 versions.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated broken access control in the Kit (formerly ConvertKit) WordPress plugin versions up to and including 3.3.5 allows network-accessible attackers to perform restricted actions without any credentials. Rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), the plugin fails to verify whether a requestor is authorized before executing sensitive operations, resulting in limited but real integrity impact on affected WordPress installations. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) describes a class of flaws where software does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. The affected product, identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:kit:kit_(formerly_convertkit):*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, is the Kit plugin for WordPress - an email marketing and subscriber management integration formerly branded as ConvertKit. WordPress plugins commonly register AJAX handlers or REST API endpoints; when authorization nonces or capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) are absent or bypassable, unauthenticated HTTP requests can invoke privileged functionality. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms the vulnerable endpoint is reachable over the network with no authentication, no interaction, and no complexity barrier.
RemediationAI
Update the Kit (formerly ConvertKit) WordPress plugin to a version above 3.3.5 as soon as a patched release is confirmed via the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/convertkit/vulnerability/wordpress-kit-formerly-convertkit-plugin-3-3-5-broken-access-control-vulnerability) or the WordPress plugin repository changelog. If immediate patching is not possible, a compensating control is to temporarily deactivate the Kit plugin on critical sites until a fix is available - this eliminates the attack surface entirely but disables email marketing integrations. Site administrators using web application firewalls (WAF) such as Wordfence or Sucuri can attempt to create rules blocking unauthenticated requests to Kit plugin endpoints, though this requires knowing the specific vulnerable endpoint and may cause false positives. No patched version number has been independently confirmed from the provided input data; do not assume any specific version is safe until verified against the vendor advisory.
