Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The Convert WebP & AVIF – Quicq WordPress plugin contains a missing capability check on the "wpqai_disconnect_quicq_afosto" AJAX endpoint, allowing authenticated users with Subscriber-level access or higher to trigger an operation that disconnects the Afosto service. This flaw permits attackers to alter the plugin’s configuration and modify key data, potentially disrupting the integration with Afosto and undermining site functionality.

Affected Systems

All installations of the Convert WebP & AVIF – Quicq plugin for WordPress with versions up to and including 2.0.0 are affected. The vulnerability exists in every WordPress site that has this plugin installed, regardless of other configuration settings.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates a moderate impact, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires authentication; a user with at least Subscriber privileges can invoke the unsecured AJAX endpoint, but no elevated privileges or network-level access are necessary. The primary consequence is unauthorized modification of plugin configuration rather than a full system compromise.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the plugin to version 2.0.1 or later, or remove it if no longer needed.
  • Restrict Subscriber and lower user roles from accessing the plugin’s Ajax endpoints, or enforce stricter role permissions.
  • Audit the Afosto connection settings regularly and monitor for unexpected changes.
