Subscriber Sensitive Data Exposure in PushEngage - Web Push Notifications, eCommerce Automation & Chat Widget <= 4.2.3 versions.
AnalysisAI
Sensitive data exposure in the PushEngage WordPress plugin (versions <= 4.2.3) allows authenticated low-privileged users to access subscriber information that should remain protected. The flaw, reported by Patchstack and tracked as CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), affects WordPress sites running the Web Push Notifications, eCommerce Automation & Chat Widget plugin and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.4 with a scope change. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
PushEngage is a WordPress plugin (CPE: syed_balkhi:pushengage) used by site owners to send web push notifications, run eCommerce automations, and operate a chat widget. The underlying weakness is CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), a class of bug where an application includes sensitive data - here, subscriber records - in a response or output that is accessible to actors who should not see it. In WordPress plugin contexts this typically manifests as an AJAX action, REST endpoint, or admin-ajax handler that fails to enforce capability checks proportional to the sensitivity of the data being returned, leaking subscriber identifiers, endpoints, or contact data across the user/role boundary.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade the PushEngage plugin to a version newer than 4.2.3 as published on the WordPress.org plugin repository, consulting the Patchstack record at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/pushengage/vulnerability/wordpress-pushengage-web-push-notifications-ecommerce-automation-chat-widget-plugin-4-2-3-sensitive-data-exposure-vulnerability for the exact fixed release. If immediate patching is not possible, deactivate the PushEngage plugin (which will stop push notifications and the chat widget until restored), or restrict access to wp-admin and the WordPress REST/AJAX surface to trusted IPs via a web application firewall or .htaccess rule - accepting that this blocks legitimate low-privileged contributors and subscribers from any plugin functionality they were entitled to. As an interim hardening step, audit which roles can authenticate to the site and remove any low-privileged accounts that are not strictly required, since the flaw requires PR:L access.
