The AutomatorWP - Automator plugin for no-code automations, webhooks & custom integrations in WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.8.4. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve all ConvertKit form data configured by the site's manager account, exposing integration details intended to be restricted to plugin managers. The required nonce is localized on every admin page load, making it accessible to any authenticated user who can reach /wp-admin.
AnalysisAI
Authorization bypass in AutomatorWP WordPress plugin (all versions through 5.8.4) exposes ConvertKit integration credentials to any subscriber-level authenticated user. The ConvertKit AJAX endpoints in the plugin's integration layer perform no capability verification, and the nonce required to invoke them is embedded in every admin page load, eliminating the nonce's protective value for any authenticated user who can reach /wp-admin. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) an authenticated WordPress session at subscriber level or higher - the lowest role above unauthenticated visitor; (2) ability to load any /wp-admin page to obtain the localized nonce (standard for all authenticated WordPress users); (3) the target site must have AutomatorWP version ≤5.8.4 installed and active; (4) the site must have the ConvertKit integration configured with a manager account. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD-assigned CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) accurately reflects the constrained impact: confidentiality loss is limited to ConvertKit integration data rather than site-wide credentials or content. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who holds or creates a subscriber-level WordPress account on a target site loads any /wp-admin page, extracts the JavaScript-localized nonce from the page source, and then issues an authenticated AJAX POST request to the AutomatorWP ConvertKit endpoint. The response returns all ConvertKit form configuration data set up by the site manager, potentially including API keys or tag/sequence identifiers used to manage the site's email subscribers. |
| Remediation | Upstream fix available via WordPress plugin repository changeset 3656285 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3656285%40automatorwp&new=3656285%40automatorwp); the exact released patched version number is not explicitly stated in the available input data - administrators should update to the latest AutomatorWP version available in the WordPress plugin directory and verify the installed version exceeds 5.8.4. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
