MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated WordPress account at subscriber level or above (PR:L) on a site running WP Fusion Lite before 3.48.0; sites that permit open/self user registration are most exposed. The two affected admin-AJAX handlers omit a capability check, so no admin privileges are needed, but a valid logged-in session is mandatory - purely unauthenticated attackers cannot exploit this. No special plugin configuration beyond having WP Fusion Lite active is indicated; no user interaction is required. Limiting factors: the authentication requirement and the restricted impact (email-address disclosure and CRM re-sync only, no full data access or site compromise). |
| Impact | This is a genuine but low-to-moderate priority access-control flaw, not a high-severity remote threat. The vendor CVSS 3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N = 5.4) is internally consistent with the description: network-reachable admin-AJAX handlers, low attack complexity, but requiring authentication (PR:L - any registered subscriber) and yielding only partial confidentiality (reading other users' email addresses) and partial integrity (triggering a cross-user CRM re-sync). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept were provided, so exploitation is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The chief gating factor is that the attacker must already hold a valid low-privilege account on the target site, which sharply limits mass exploitation; sites allowing open user registration are most exposed. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag conflicts with the CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) classification and the PR:L vector - this is a missing-capability-check / broken-authorization issue on authenticated endpoints, not an authentication bypass; treat the tag as mislabeled. No signals conflict with the network vector. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker self-registers (or uses an existing low-privilege account) as a subscriber on a WordPress site running WP Fusion Lite before 3.48.0. They invoke the two unprotected admin-AJAX handlers directly to enumerate other users' email addresses and to force CRM re-synchronization for arbitrary users. No public exploit code is identified, but the attack requires only standard authenticated HTTP requests with no user interaction. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 01, 2026
Missing capability checks in the WP Fusion Lite WordPress plugin before version 3.48.0 allow any authenticated subscriber-level user to read other users' email addresses and to trigger cross-user CRM re-syncs through two exposed admin AJAX handlers. The CVSS vector indicates the attacker must hold a valid logged-in account (PR:L, so authenticated, not unauthenticated), and sites that allow open or self-service user registration are the most exposed, since no user interaction or administrative privilege is needed. Impact is confined to information disclosure of email addresses and unintended CRM synchronisation activity rather than full site takeover, and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade WP Fusion Lite to version 3.48.0 or later, which adds the missing capability checks to the two admin AJAX handlers; this is the only complete fix and should be applied through the WordPress plugin updater or by deploying the vendor package directly. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls must accept trade-offs: disable open/self-service user registration and set the WordPress default new-user role so that untrusted accounts cannot obtain the subscriber role (side effect: legitimate visitors can no longer self-enrol and accounts must be provisioned manually); review and suspend or remove unnecessary subscriber accounts, since they are the attack prerequisite (side effect: operational overhead and possible lockout of legitimate low-privilege users); and audit connected CRM platforms for unexpected sync events or re-sync bursts that could indicate abuse, since the integrity impact manifests in CRM data rather than on the WordPress site itself. Deactivating WP Fusion Lite removes the attack surface entirely but also breaks CRM integration, and no compensating control fully prevents the email-address disclosure short of patching. Consult the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/04d14406-c460-407c-836f-a9b5ed12be95/ and the NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-90972 for the authoritative version and fix details; note that remediation should not be delayed on the basis of exploit maturity, as no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WP Fusion Lite is a WordPress plugin that bridges a WordPress site with external CRM and marketing automation platforms (such as HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, and similar) for contact and tag synchronisation. The flaw is a broken access control issue (CWE-284) affecting two of the plugin's admin-side AJAX handlers, which in WordPress are registered as wp_ajax_* actions and served through wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. Because these handlers omit a current_user_can() capability check, any request carrying a valid authenticated session is processed regardless of the caller's role, so a low-privileged subscriber - the default role assigned by open WordPress registration - can invoke functionality intended for administrators. The first handler is queried to enumerate and return other users' email addresses, and the second can be abused to force a CRM re-sync of another user's record. The WordPress AJAX endpoint is remotely reachable over HTTP (AV:N), and the CVSS vector confirms low confidentiality and low integrity impact with no availability impact; the plugin's own tagging labels this an authentication bypass, though in strict CWE terms it is a missing-authorization flaw, since a session is still required. No CPE identifiers were supplied with the source data; the affected product is identified by EUVD as WP Fusion Lite 0 through versions below 3.48.0.
