Description
The DataPress (Dataverse Integration) WordPress plugin before 2.91 does not properly restrict access to its template rendering feature and exposes the viewing user's data to it, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to disclose sensitive information, such as the session cookies of higher privileged users who view the affected content.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Dataverse Integration (DataPress) WordPress plugin fails to restrict access to its template rendering feature, allowing users with Contributor or higher roles to supply arbitrary template data. This vulnerability enables server‑side template injection (SSTI), letting the attacker view the session cookies of privileged users who view the affected content, potentially facilitating account hijacking or further exploitation.

Affected Systems

DataPress (Dataverse Integration) WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.91 are affected. Any instance of the plugin deploying those versions should be examined.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.8 indicates medium severity. EPSS of < 1% (approximately 0.4%) indicates a low yet non‑zero risk of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting limited public exploitation at present. The attack likely requires the user to possess at least Contributor privileges and to trigger the template rendering mechanism, which can be performed through normal site interactions such as editing or viewing content that invokes the vulnerable component.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the DataPress (Dataverse Integration) plugin to version 2.91 or later.
  • Remove the Contributor role from any user accounts that should not have access to template rendering, or downgrade those users to a lower privilege level.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, disable the plugin’s template rendering functionality for all non‑admin users through the plugin settings or by editing the plugin’s configuration files.
  • Notify site administrators to monitor for anomalous session cookie exposure and review access logs for potential abuse.
