Description
The WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.39. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply an arbitrary victim email address and trigger immediate SAR processing via the process_now and is_ajax parameters, receiving tokenized download links (zip_link, pdf_link) in the HTTP response that expose the victim's personal data — including WordPress account details, comment author names, email addresses, IP addresses, and comment content — without any proof of ownership. The nonce used for the CSRF check is publicly rendered by the SAR shortcode form and is shared across all anonymous visitors, meaning any unauthenticated attacker can trivially obtain a valid nonce and bypass this gate entirely.

AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) allows an unauthenticated attacker to trigger the subject‑access‑request process via AJAX parameters, causing the plugin to return tokenized links that expose the victim’s personal data such as WordPress account information, comment author details, email addresses, IP addresses, and comment content. The vulnerability stems from an authorization bypass (CWE‑862) where the plugin fails to verify user permissions before executing the request.

Affected Systems

Legalweb’s WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) plugin, versions up to and including 3.1.39, is impacted. All installations of these versions running on WordPress sites are susceptible unless otherwise patched. No other products or later versions were listed as affected in the provided data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a medium severity level. The EPSS score is not provided, which limits a precise assessment of exploitation likelihood, but the absence of a KEV listing suggests that no widespread exploitation campaigns are known. The attack vector is inferred to be the AJAX endpoint (process_now and is_ajax parameters) which can be reached via standard HTTP requests; no privileged access is required from the attacker. Once triggered, the system returns downloadable links that contain the sensitive data, thereby compromising confidentiality.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade WP DSGVO Tools to the latest release issued after version 3.1.39 to remove the authorization bypass.
  • Modify the plugin’s configuration or code to require user authentication before the process_now or is_ajax actions are executed, ensuring that only legitimate requests can trigger SAR processing.
  • Validate that the AJAX endpoint no longer returns zip_link or pdf_link data to unauthenticated callers by performing a post‑update test against the endpoint.
