Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires only that the InfusedWoo Pro plugin (version ≤5.1.2) is installed and activated on a reachable WordPress site, and that the site's admin-ajax.php endpoint is accessible from the attacker's network - which is the default. No authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are needed: the vulnerable iwar_save_recipe() AJAX handler is exposed to unauthenticated callers by design due to the missing nonce and capability check. The only meaningful limiting factors are knowledge of the recipe payload schema (trivially recoverable from the plugin's PHP/JS source) and knowing or guessing a valid target username such as 'admin' for the auto-login action; sites that have already renamed the default admin account still remain exploitable against any enumerable username.

Impact

The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H paints a worst-case picture - network-reachable, low-complexity, no authentication, no user interaction, full CIA impact - which is consistent with the SSVC technical impact of 'total' and the 'automatable: yes' rating, since the attack reduces to two HTTP requests. However, SSVC exploitation is 'none' and EPSS is only 0.19% (40th percentile), and the CVE is not on CISA KEV, indicating no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The mismatch is explainable: WordPress plugin vulnerabilities reported by Wordfence often score very high on CVSS yet show low EPSS until a public PoC or mass-scanning campaign emerges. Defenders should treat this as a real priority because the technical impact is total account takeover on any site running the plugin, exploitation is fully automatable, and InfusedWoo Pro is a niche commerce plugin whose installed base may be enumerated rapidly once a PoC drops.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker scans the internet for WordPress sites running InfusedWoo Pro, then sends a single unauthenticated POST to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=iwar_save_recipe defining a recipe whose trigger is an HTTP post and whose action auto-logs in the site's administrator account. The attacker then visits the trigger URL with a normal browser and is issued valid WordPress auth cookies for the admin user, after which they install a malicious plugin or PHP webshell for persistence. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but SSVC rates the attack 'automatable' and the two-request sequence is trivial to weaponize once recipe schema is reverse-engineered.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 08, 2026

Authentication bypass and privilege escalation in the InfusedWoo Pro WordPress plugin (versions through 5.1.2) lets unauthenticated remote attackers seize administrator accounts by abusing the iwar_save_recipe() AJAX handler. Because the endpoint lacks nonce verification and capability checks, attackers can plant a malicious automation recipe that chains an HTTP post trigger with an auto-login action, so visiting a crafted URL returns valid authentication cookies for any chosen user. Reported by Wordfence with a CVSS of 9.8; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS sits at 0.19% (40th percentile) despite the SSVC assessment of total technical impact and automatable exploitation.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the references do not cite a fixed version, so monitor the Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/08cb8ba1-1976-438b-8e0b-0a8be08aad6c) and https://woo.infusedaddons.com/ for an update beyond 5.1.2 and apply it as soon as published. In the interim, deactivate and remove InfusedWoo Pro entirely if the automation features are non-critical (most direct mitigation; side effect is loss of any in-place automation recipes), or use a WAF/edge rule to block POST requests to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php where the action parameter equals iwar_save_recipe from unauthenticated sources (side effect: legitimate admin-initiated recipe saves from the WordPress dashboard may also be blocked if they ride the nopriv path). Restrict access to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php by IP allowlist for the affected action where feasible, and audit existing recipes plus the users table for unexpected administrator accounts or auto-login configurations created since the plugin was installed.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in InfusedWoo Pro (CPE cpe:2.3:a:infused_addons:infusedwoo_pro), a WordPress plugin that extends WooCommerce with automation 'recipes' linking triggers (such as HTTP posts) to actions (such as auto-logging in a user). The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the iwar_save_recipe() AJAX callback is registered without a corresponding capability check or WordPress nonce verification, and is likely exposed via the wp_ajax_nopriv_ hook that makes AJAX endpoints reachable to unauthenticated visitors. Because recipe definitions are arbitrary attacker-controlled JSON-like structures persisted server-side, an attacker can both write a new recipe and define its action (auto-login), effectively turning a legitimate administrative automation feature into an authentication oracle.

DescriptionCVE.org

The InfusedWoo Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via missing authorization in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.2. This is due to missing nonce verification and capability checks in the iwar_save_recipe() AJAX handler. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create a malicious automation recipe that pairs an HTTP post trigger with an auto-login action, allowing any unauthenticated visitor to visit a crafted URL and receive authentication cookies for any targeted user account (e.g., administrator), achieving complete authentication bypass and privilege escalation.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

InfusedWoo Pro (versions through 5.1.2) contains a critical authorization bypass that allows unauthenticated attackers to assume administrator control of WordPress installations. Organizations using this plugin face immediate risk of complete site compromise, including data breach, malware injection, and service disruption affecting customers and internal users.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Deactivate and remove InfusedWoo Pro entirely (most effective interim measure); deploy Web Application Firewall rules to block unauthenticated requests to the iwar_save_recipe AJAX endpoint; restrict /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php access to known administrative IP ranges; enforce multi-factor authentication on all WordPress administrator accounts; implement continuous audit logging for WordPress user account creation, modification, and privilege escalation.

Attack Technique

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
