MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against any WordPress installation running the Auto x LINE plugin through version 1.0.0 with the plugin active. The WordPress REST API is enabled by default in all modern WordPress installations (4.7+), so no non-default configuration is required. The limiting factor is plugin adoption: only sites that have installed this specific LINE integration plugin are at risk. Exploitation is constrained to the impact scope of the plugin's stored credentials and log data - it does not directly grant wp-admin access or arbitrary file write, but LINE API credential theft may enable secondary attacks against the site's LINE channel. |
| Impact | The CVSS 8.2 score is supported by the attack profile: fully unauthenticated, network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation against a REST endpoint - no special conditions beyond the plugin being active. The C:H rating is credible given LINE API credentials stored in plugin settings. A publicly available PoC from WPScan raises real exploitation likelihood on any unpatched instance exposed to the internet. EPSS data was not provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantitatively compared. No CISA KEV listing means confirmed mass exploitation is not yet observed, but the combination of PoC + unauthenticated REST exposure + credential theft potential makes this a prioritized remediation item for any site running this plugin. The I:L score may understate the integrity impact - an attacker who overwrites the LINE channel token can silently redirect all LINE-sourced messages to their own channel. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends crafted HTTP GET or POST requests directly to the plugin's unprotected REST endpoints on any public WordPress site running Auto x LINE ≤1.0.0. The attacker first calls the settings-read endpoint to harvest the LINE channel access token and secret, then optionally calls the settings-write endpoint to substitute their own LINE credentials, silently redirecting all LINE communications through their controlled channel. A publicly available PoC from WPScan makes this attack trivially scriptable with no specialized tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026
Missing authorization on REST API endpoints in the Auto x LINE WordPress plugin (through version 1.0.0) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read and modify plugin settings and erase log data. The plugin facilitates LINE messaging integration for WordPress sites, meaning exposed settings likely include LINE API credentials and channel tokens. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan, and the unauthenticated network-accessible nature of the flaw (PR:N, AV:N) makes it trivially exploitable against any exposed instance. No actively exploited status confirmed in CISA KEV at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patched version is identified in the available data - the WPScan advisory does not cite a fixed release, and the plugin version ceiling is stated as 'through 1.0.0.' Administrators should immediately deactivate and remove the plugin until a patched version is released or authorization checks are confirmed added by the developer. As a compensating control, restrict access to WordPress REST API routes at the web server or WAF layer (e.g., block external requests to /wp-json/ paths associated with this plugin) - note this may disrupt legitimate plugin functionality. Monitor the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/3e9da619-bce1-49b5-aa35-dce22b72f9e6/ and the WordPress plugin repository for an updated release. If the plugin must remain active, rotate LINE channel access tokens and secrets immediately to limit the window of credential exposure.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Auto x LINE plugin (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:unknown:auto_x_line:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) integrates WordPress with the LINE messaging platform API. It registers WordPress REST API endpoints that lack proper capability checks - the WordPress standard being current_user_can() guards on register_rest_route() callbacks. Without these checks, any unauthenticated HTTP client can invoke the endpoints directly. The root cause aligns with CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), though NVD has left CWE unassigned. The CVSS C:H signal implies that plugin settings surfaced via these endpoints likely include sensitive LINE channel credentials (channel access tokens, channel secrets) that would give an attacker control over the site's LINE integration. The I:L metric reflects the ability to overwrite settings or clear audit logs.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Auto x LINE WordPress plugin through 1.0.0 does not have authorization checks in some of its REST endpoints, allowing unauthenticated users to call them and update the plugin settings, clear logs etc
Technical POC Analysis
The Auto x LINE plugin registers custom WordPress REST API routes under the autoxline/v1 namespace.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
The Auto x LINE WordPress plugin (versions through 1.0.0) contains a critical missing authorization flaw allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to read and modify plugin settings, including LINE API credentials and channel tokens, as well as erase audit logs. Publicly available exploit code exists, making this trivially exploitable against any exposed WordPress instance. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of credential theft and unauthorized LINE account compromise.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Deactivate the plugin entirely if operational impact permits; (2) Implement WAF or API gateway rules to restrict REST API access to authenticated users only; (3) Revoke and regenerate all LINE API credentials and channel tokens immediately; (4) Enable enhanced monitoring on LINE account activity to detect unauthorized API calls; (5) Audit and review access logs for REST endpoints targeted by this vulnerability to identify potential exploitation attempts.
