Description
The Pixelavo WordPress plugin before 1.5.4 registers an unauthenticated AJAX action, gated only by a nonce that it emits publicly on every front-end page, that forwards client-supplied event data to the configured Facebook Conversions API using the administrator's stored access token. This allows an unauthenticated visitor to inject arbitrary conversion events into the administrator's Facebook ads account and exhaust the configured API quota.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Pixelavo WordPress plugin registers an unauthenticated AJAX action that is gated only by a nonce emitted publicly on each front‑end page. The action forwards client‑supplied event data to the administrator’s configured Facebook Conversions API using the stored access token. This allows any visitor to inject arbitrary conversion events, causing incorrect analytics data and exhausting the API quota.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Pixelavo WordPress plugin prior to version 1.5.4, published by Unknown:Pixelavo. Any WordPress site that has a vulnerable instance of this plugin installed is exposed.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is below 1 %, indicating a very low likelihood of active exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. However, since the AJAX endpoint is publicly reachable and requires no authentication, an attacker can trigger the flaw simply by sending crafted requests to the plugin’s endpoint from any IP. If abused, the attacker could inflate conversion metrics and deplete the site’s Facebook API quota. The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Pixelavo to version 1.5.4 or newer.
  • If immediate upgrade is not possible, block the unauthenticated AJAX endpoint (pixelavo_event) using server rules (.htaccess, Nginx, or firewall) so only authenticated requests can reach it.
  • Remove or deactivate the Pixelavo plugin entirely if it is no longer required for site functionality.
  • Review Facebook Conversions API access; revoke the current access token and generate a new one with appropriate permissions and apply rate limits.
