DescriptionCVE.org

The Hippoo Mobile App for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass leading to Administrator Account Takeover in all versions up to and including 1.9.4. This is due to a logic conflation in HippooPermissions::get_user_permissions(), which returns the same null sentinel for both administrators and unauthenticated visitors - a value that HippooPermissions::has_role_access() unconditionally interprets as full administrator access - causing override_extension_permission_callback() to assign __return_true as the permission callback for every WordPress and WooCommerce REST route cloned under /wc-hippoo/v1/ext/ by HippooControllerWithAuth::re_register_external_routes(), while the block_unauthorized_access() pre-dispatch guard fails to block unauthenticated users for the same reason. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to invoke any core REST endpoint without credentials - most critically, sending a POST request to /wc-hippoo/v1/ext/wp/v2/users/<id> with a {"password":"<new_password>"} body to reset the password of any WordPress user, including the site administrator, and gain full administrative control of the site.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated administrator account takeover in the Hippoo Mobile App for WooCommerce WordPress plugin (versions ≤ 1.9.4) allows remote attackers to reset any user's password - including the site administrator's - by sending a single crafted POST request to a cloned REST route. The root cause is a logic conflation in HippooPermissions::get_user_permissions() that returns the same null sentinel for both administrators and anonymous visitors, which is then interpreted as full admin access. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the trivial exploitation path and 9.8 CVSS score make this an urgent patch priority for any WordPress site running the plugin.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability lives in a WordPress plugin that proxies WordPress and WooCommerce core REST API routes under a /wc-hippoo/v1/ext/ namespace for use by a companion mobile app. The plugin's HippooControllerWithAuth::re_register_external_routes() clones every core REST route, and override_extension_permission_callback() decides which permission callback to bind. Because HippooPermissions::get_user_permissions() uses a single null sentinel to represent both 'administrator' and 'no user logged in,' the downstream check has_role_access() treats unauthenticated requests as administrative, and the block_unauthorized_access() pre-dispatch guard fails open for the same reason. The result is that __return_true becomes the permission callback for every cloned route. The CWE-285 (Improper Authorization) classification fits precisely - authorization logic exists but is fundamentally broken by ambiguous return semantics.

RemediationAI

Upstream fix available (commit/changeset 3557733 at https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3557733/hippoo); a released patched version above 1.9.4 is not independently confirmed in the supplied data, so administrators should update to the latest available release in the WordPress plugin directory and verify the installed version is greater than 1.9.4. If immediate patching is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate and remove the Hippoo plugin entirely, which will break the companion mobile app but eliminates the entire /wc-hippoo/v1/ext/ namespace. As an interim WAF-layer mitigation, block all external requests to URIs matching /wp-json/wc-hippoo/v1/ext/ (and the equivalent ?rest_route= query form), accepting that this will disable mobile-app functionality.
