Exploitation Conditions

The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms that exploitation requires no authentication, no special configuration, and no victim interaction - any internet-accessible WordPress installation running SureCart version 4.6.2 or earlier is vulnerable in its default installed state. The CWE-862 root cause means the missing authorization check is present in the standard code path, not gated behind an optional feature flag or non-default setting. Exploitation is bounded by the C:L/I:N/A:N impact: attackers gain read access to a limited scope of protected data and cannot write, modify, or delete data, nor achieve code execution through this vulnerability alone. WordPress installations that have globally disabled the REST API via a firewall rule or security plugin (e.g., disabling /wp-json/ entirely) would reduce exposure, but this is not a default WordPress configuration.

Impact

The CVSS 5.3 Medium score reflects a significant tension: the attack vector metrics (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) represent worst-case accessibility - fully remote, unauthenticated, no interaction required - while the impact metrics (C:L/I:N/A:N) are constrained and narrow. This is a real, exploitable vulnerability requiring no prerequisites, but the blast radius is limited to confidentiality at a low level. No EPSS data was provided in the available intelligence, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified. The absence of a CISA KEV listing means active exploitation has not been confirmed by CISA, and no POC code was identified in the provided references. The low attack complexity warrants prompt remediation, particularly for SureCart deployments that handle sensitive customer or payment metadata, but the limited impact scope means it is unlikely to serve as a standalone critical-breach vector without chaining to other vulnerabilities.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker discovers a WordPress site running SureCart 4.6.2 or earlier - trivially detectable via plugin enumeration or WordPress meta tags - and sends a crafted HTTP GET request to an unprotected SureCart REST API endpoint. The missing authorization check (CWE-862) allows the request to succeed without credentials, returning restricted data such as order details or customer records. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the low complexity and zero authentication barrier make this reproducible by any attacker with basic HTTP tooling.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 06, 2026

Broken access control in the SureCart WordPress e-commerce plugin through version 4.6.2 permits unauthenticated remote attackers to access protected resources without credentials or user interaction, as confirmed by the CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N vector and CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) classification. The impact is scoped to limited confidentiality exposure (C:L/I:N/A:N), consistent with unauthorized read access to restricted data such as order or customer records rather than write or execution capability. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog, though the zero-friction exploitation conditions mean any unpatched internet-facing SureCart installation is trivially reachable.

RemediationAI

Update SureCart to a version newer than 4.6.2 via the WordPress plugin dashboard or WordPress CLI (wp plugin update surecart). The Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/surecart/vulnerability/wordpress-surecart-plugin-4-6-2-broken-access-control-vulnerability should be reviewed to confirm the exact fixed release version, as the current intelligence does not specify a patched version number - the patch is described as available per vendor reporting but a precise target version was not confirmed. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, a compensating control is to restrict access to SureCart REST API namespace endpoints (typically prefixed with /wp-json/surecart/) at the web server or WAF layer, limiting requests to authenticated sessions or known IP ranges. Note that blocking REST API access may disrupt front-end checkout flows or SureCart SaaS synchronization features, so scope any IP restriction carefully to avoid customer-facing impact.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SureCart (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:surecart:surecart) is a WordPress e-commerce plugin providing checkout, order management, and subscription functionality as an alternative to WooCommerce. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning the plugin exposes one or more endpoints - most likely REST API routes or WordPress AJAX handlers - without implementing proper authorization checks such as WordPress capability checks via current_user_can(). In the WordPress plugin ecosystem, this pattern arises when developers register endpoints with public visibility (e.g., permission_callback returning __return_true or being omitted) or fail to gate sensitive actions behind nonce verification and role validation. The CVSS confidentiality-only impact at the Low level suggests unauthorized read access to scoped data rather than full database or filesystem exposure.
