Description
The Jupiter X Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.62.0 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 enumerate and render arbitrary published post types not intended for public listing — including Flamingo CF7 submission records containing submitter names, email addresses, phone numbers, full messages, and IP addresses — and perform meta_query boolean-oracle reads against the postmeta of any published post. Exploitation requires that a Posts or Advanced Posts widget on the site has 'Is Archive Template' enabled, which is the standard Jupiter X archive-template configuration used by most Jupiter X sites; additionally, the nonce verified by the second endpoint is minted via wp_create_nonce and printed on every frontend page as ravenTools.nonce, rendering it ineffective as an authorization barrier.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability in the Jupiter X Core plugin allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authorization checks when the 'archive_query' parameter is used. It enables enumeration and rendering of arbitrary published post types, including private form‑submission records, revealing personal details such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, full messages, and IP addresses. This flaw is a classic missing authorization issue (CWE-862) that can lead to significant privacy violations.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that use the Jupiter X Core plugin version 4.62.0 or earlier, specifically when Posts or Advanced Posts widgets are configured with "Is Archive Template" enabled, are affected. Any site deploying these versions without mitigation is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The severity is moderate (CVSS 5.9). Exploitation does not require any special privileges but does require the target site to have an enabled archive template widget, which is common in fielded sites. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the lack of authorization control makes it a high priority for patching.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Jupiter X Core plugin to a version newer than 4.62.0, which removes the authorization check on 'archive_query'.
  • Disable the Posts or Advanced Posts widgets that have the "Is Archive Template" option enabled, or restrict that setting to authenticated users only.
  • If an update is not immediately feasible, manually patch the plugin to insert an authorization verification for the 'archive_query' endpoint before executing any data retrieval.
