Description
The Easy HTTPS Redirection (SSL) WordPress plugin before 2.0.2 does not perform capability checks in some of its AJAX actions, allowing any authenticated user, such as a Subscriber, to read URLs its content scanner collected from private and draft posts and from site options, and to trigger a site-wide rewrite of those URLs, once an administrator has run a scan.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Easy HTTPS Redirection (SSL) WordPress plugin fails to enforce capability checks for certain AJAX operations. As a result, any authenticated user, including users with the Subscriber role, can invoke these functions. An attacker can read URLs that the plugin gathered during a site scan – URLs from private or draft posts and from site options – exposing sensitive internal links. The same flaw allows the user to trigger a site‑wide rewrite of those URLs once an administrator has executed a scan, leading to unintended alterations of site links and navigation structures.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the Easy HTTPS Redirection (SSL) plugin, versions prior to 2.0.2. The vendor is unknown; the plugin is listed as "Easy HTTPS Redirection (SSL)" in WordPress plugin repositories. All releases before the 2.0.2 update are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability offers attackers the ability to access confidential information and modify site content without administrative privileges. The CVSS score is not specified, but the lack of EPSS data and absence in the CISA KEV suggests a moderate to high risk that may be exploited by authenticated attackers. The attack vector is authenticated, requiring a valid user account – a role as low as Subscriber can exploit it once they have access to the site. This combination of low privilege requirement and powerful impact warrants serious attention.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Easy HTTPS Redirection (SSL) to the latest version 2.0.2 or later, which implements proper capability checks for all AJAX actions.
  • Restrict AJAX endpoints that manipulate URL rewrite settings to administrator and editor roles exclusively, ensuring non‑admin users cannot trigger site‑wide rewrites.
  • If the plugin is no longer required or an update cannot be applied promptly, disable or delete the plugin to eliminate the exposure while addressing the vulnerability in the long term.
