Description
The RegistrationMagic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 6.0.7.4. This is due to missing nonce verification and capability checks on the rm_set_otp AJAX action handler.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the RegistrationMagic plugin for WordPress, affecting versions up to 6.0.7.4. A missing nonce verification and capability checks on the rm_set_otp AJAX action allow attackers who are not authenticated to change plugin settings arbitrarily. This includes reCAPTCHA keys, security parameters, and layout titles, potentially compromising site integrity and user trust.

Affected Systems

WordPress installations running the RegistrationMagic plugin prior to version 6.0.8 are susceptible. The issue is confined to the RegistrationMagic component and does not extend to core WordPress or other plugins.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 5.3 and an EPSS score of less than 1%, the risk of exploitation is moderate and unlikely to be widely targeted. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, and since it lacks authentication requirements, the attack vector is an unauthenticated remote AJAX request. Attackers can exploit the flaw by submitting crafted requests to the rm_set_otp endpoint, enabling arbitrary configuration changes without needing a user account.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the RegistrationMagic plugin to a version newer than 6.0.7.4, ensuring that nonce and capability checks are restored.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, disable or remove the RegistrationMagic plugin from the site to eliminate the exposed endpoint.
  • Configure the WordPress site to restrict AJAX calls to authenticated users only, for example by using security plugins or .htaccess rules, and monitor for suspicious activity targeting the rm_set_otp action.
