AI Analysis

Impact

The MStore API plugin allows an attacker to create a user with the wcfm_vendor role without authentication. This role grants vendor‑level access in the WCFM Marketplace plugin, enabling the attacker to perform vendor‑specific actions. The flaw is a lack of role restriction during registration, which results in a moderate‑severity privilege escalation vulnerability (CWE-269).

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the MStore API – Create Native Android & iOS Apps On The Cloud plugin version 4.17.4 or earlier are affected, but only when the WCFM Marketplace – Multivendor Marketplace for WooCommerce plugin is also installed and activated. The vulnerability is specific to the InspireUI MStore API product.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a moderate risk. The very low EPSS score (<1%) suggests limited current exploitation activity, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated attacker who can submit a registration request to the vulnerable plugin on a site that also hosts the WCFM Marketplace plugin. Once achieved, the attacker gains vendor‑level privileges, potentially allowing further manipulation within the plugin ecosystem.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the MStore API plugin to version 4.17.5 or later, which contains the necessary role‑restriction fix.
  • If a site does not require multi‑vendor capabilities, disable or uninstall the WCFM Marketplace plugin to eliminate the attack surface.
  • Audit existing user accounts and ensure that the wcfm_vendor role cannot be assigned through public registration; enforce strict role validation in the plugin code if possible.
