DescriptionCVE.org

The Cornerstone WordPress plugin before 7.8.9 does not enforce capability checks on one of its REST API routes, allowing any authenticated user to disclose the metadata of any other user, including roles, session token previews and stored billing/shipping fields. This affects the premium co Cornerstone page builder distributed bundled with the X , not the unrelated free cornerstone Cornerstone WordPress plugin before 7.8.9 (v0.8.x) on the .org repository.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated information disclosure in the premium Cornerstone page builder (bundled with the X WordPress theme) before version 7.8.9 allows any logged-in user to enumerate other users' metadata via an unprotected REST API route. Disclosed data includes roles, session token previews, and stored billing/shipping fields, enabling account targeting and potential session abuse. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated WordPress account of any role (subscriber or above) on a site running the premium Cornerstone page builder bundled with the X theme at versions 3.0.0 through 7.8.8 - the free .org 'cornerstone' plugin (v0.8.x) is explicitly NOT affected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.7 (High) score is driven by the Scope:Changed metric (S:C) reflecting that one user's account can disclose data belonging to other users/security authorities. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers (or compromises) a low-privileged subscriber account on a target WordPress site running vulnerable Cornerstone, then issues an authenticated request to the unprotected Cornerstone REST API route to enumerate user IDs and harvest roles, session token previews, and billing/shipping PII for administrators and customers. The harvested data fuels targeted phishing, credential-stuffing against admin accounts, or downstream identity fraud against WooCommerce customers. …
Remediation Upgrade the premium Cornerstone plugin / X theme bundle to version 7.8.9 or later, which is the vendor-released patched version per the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/3ade0e4e-2070-4d3b-8f31-0d446839efd0/). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
