6DescriptionCVE.org
The Botiga Pro WordPress plugin before 1.6.5 does not perform any authorisation checks on one of its REST routes, allowing unauthenticated users to update arbitrary WordPress options with arbitrary values, which could lead to privilege escalation and a full site takeover. The same route also allows unauthenticated users to store arbitrary web scripts which are then executed on every page of the site's front end, as well as to move arbitrary posts to the trash.

AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote attackers can abuse a missing authorization check in a REST route of the Botiga Pro WordPress plugin (versions before 1.6.5) to update arbitrary WordPress options, inject stored web scripts that execute on every front-end page, and move arbitrary posts to the trash. The option-write primitive enables privilege escalation and full site takeover, for example by altering registration or default-role settings, while the stored script injection yields persistent cross-site scripting against all site visitors. …

Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all WordPress instances running the Botiga Pro add-on and confirm which are below version 1.6.5; update every affected installation to Botiga Pro 1.6.5 (the vendor-released patch) or to the latest available release, and where immediate patching is impossible take the plugin offline or block external access to its REST routes at the WAF or reverse proxy. …
