Impact

The vulnerability is a missing capability check in the RulesAjaxController’s store function. The likely attack vector involves an unauthenticated user crafting an AJAX request to this endpoint, enabling the modification of pop‑up display settings. The flaw is classified as CWE‑862 (Missing Authorization). Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker could alter which content appears in pop‑ups or sliders, potentially defacing a site or redirecting visitors to malicious pages. It does not provide code execution but changes the integrity and content of the website.

Affected Systems

All installations of the Depicter – Popup & Slider Builder plugin by Averta with a version of 4.0.7 or earlier are affected. The plugin is a WordPress add‑on that manages pop‑ups, modals, and sliders.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.3, indicating a moderate impact, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector requires unauthenticated access to the WordPress site and the ability to send a crafted AJAX request to the RulesAjaxController’s store endpoint. Based on the description, it is inferred that once it succeeds, the attacker can modify popup display rules, which could be used to display spam or misleading content.

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Depicter plugin to a version newer than 4.0.7 when a fix is released.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable or remove the AJAX route that handles rule storage by editing the plugin’s routes or adding a capability check that restricts the action to users with appropriate permissions.
  • Apply site‑wide monitoring for unauthorized changes to pop‑up or slider rules and audit configuration files for unexpected modifications.
