AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
AC:H reflects the prerequisite that nextcart_token must be uninitialized; all other metrics align with unauthenticated network access yielding full SQL and file-system control.

The Next-Cart Store to WooCommerce Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.8 via the NCWM_Kitconnect::run() function. This is due to the plugin registering the /wp-json/next_cart/v1/migration REST route with permission_callback set to __return_true and relying on a hardcoded fallback value of __token__ in get_option('nextcart_token', '__token__') when the nextcart_token option has not yet been written to the database. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication to the migration endpoint by supplying the literal string __token__ as the token, gaining access to privileged handlers that pass attacker-controlled SQL directly to $wpdb->query() and $wpdb->get_results() - enabling arbitrary SQL execution including administrator account creation - and pass an attacker-controlled path to unlink(), enabling arbitrary file deletion and full site takeover. The hardcoded fallback is reachable whenever the nextcart_token option has not yet been populated, which occurs after WP-CLI, network, or programmatic plugin activation without a subsequent authenticated wp-admin visit, as token generation is deferred to admin_init via register_settings().

AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in the Next-Cart Store to WooCommerce Migration WordPress plugin (all versions ≤ 3.9.8) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to reach privileged migration endpoints and achieve full site takeover via arbitrary SQL execution and arbitrary file deletion. The root cause is a double design flaw: the /wp-json/next_cart/v1/migration REST route is registered with permission_callback set to __return_true (granting unrestricted access to all callers), and the token check falls back to the hardcoded literal __token__ via get_option('nextcart_token', '__token__') whenever the database option has never been written. …
