Description
The Mail Debug for WooCommerce WordPress plugin through 1.3.0 does not perform any capability, authentication, or nonce check on one of its email-logging actions, which is exposed to unauthenticated users and is not restricted to its own data, allowing anyone to read the full body of every email the site has sent, including password-reset emails whose reset key lets an attacker take over an administrator account.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Mail Debug for WooCommerce plugin up to version 1.3.0 allows any visitor to access a logging endpoint without permission. The endpoint returns the full body of all emails the WordPress site has sent, including keys for password‑reset emails. Exposure of these keys enables an attacker to assume administrative control of the site, effectively taking over the account.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress site running the Mail Debug for WooCommerce plugin at or below version 1.3.0 is impacted. The vendor is not publicly listed, but the plugin is available through the WordPress repository.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw can be triggered by unauthenticated users visiting the specific URL that exposes the logging data. No additional authentication, privilege, or network restrictions are required. While no CVSS score is provided, the severity is effectively critical because a single reset key grants full administrative access. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA KEV, but the attack path is straightforward and the impact catastrophic.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the plugin to the latest version (>= 1.3.1) which includes authentication checks on the logging endpoint.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, restrict access to the email‑logging URL by firewall rules or by adding a nonce or capability check.
  • Monitor the site for any suspicious account activity; revoke any password reset keys that may have already been exposed.
