Exactmetrics Google Analytics Dashboard For Wordpress Website Stats Plugin
Monthly
Authenticated Editor-level attackers can achieve Remote Code Execution in ExactMetrics WordPress plugin (all versions ≤9.1.2) by chaining exposed onboarding credentials to install and activate arbitrary plugin ZIP files from attacker-controlled URLs. The attack exploits a missing authorization check in the 'exactmetrics_connect_process' AJAX endpoint that accepts the one-time hash token obtained via the exposed 'onboarding_key' transient-effectively bypassing plugin installation controls. EPSS and KEV status unknown; CVSS 7.2 reflects high-privilege requirement (PR:H) but direct path to RCE makes this a critical risk for multi-author WordPress sites where Editors have dashboard viewing permissions. Wordfence advisory and source code references confirm the vulnerability chain across three distinct code locations in versions through 9.1.1.
ExactMetrics Google Analytics Dashboard for WordPress versions up to 9.1.2 allow authenticated subscribers to retrieve Google Ads access tokens and reset Google Ads integration settings through missing authorization checks in AJAX handlers. Although a nonce is verified, two AJAX endpoints (get_ads_access_token and reset_experience) lack the capability checks present in similar endpoints, enabling attackers with subscriber-level access to perform administrative actions. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) reflects network-accessible unauthenticated exploitation, but the description indicates authenticated subscriber access is required, creating a discrepancy between reported CVSS and actual attack prerequisites.
