AI Analysis

Impact

An unauthenticated attacker can manipulate the gtm_server_side_order_id cookie in the GTM Server Side WordPress plugin to force the plugin to render another customer’s full order details, including personally identifiable information, into the page’s JavaScript dataLayer. The flaw allows confidentiality breach without any authentication, leading to exposure of sensitive purchase data.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects stape.io’s GTM Server Side WordPress plugin in all releases from version 2.0.0 up to and including 2.1.47. Versions 2.1.48 and later contain the patch that removes the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 8.7, the risk is high. The EPSS score is unavailable, but the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it is not presently known as a widely exploited vulnerability. The attack can be carried out by creating or modifying the gtm_server_side_order_id cookie and triggering the plugin’s rendering process, which does not require any user authentication. If an attacker can forge or set this cookie, the resulting dataLayer will contain the order data of others, thereby facilitating a data disclosure attack.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the GTM Server Side WordPress plugin to version 2.1.48 or newer to apply the vendor patch.
  • Configure the server or web application firewall to block or restrict access to the plugin’s endpoints so that only authenticated requests can set or read the gtm_server_side_order_id cookie.
  • Audit and monitor the plugin’s logs for unexpected order ID values and verify that no unauthenticated requests are generating order data in the dataLayer.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, disable the order event tracking feature or remove the gtm_server_side_order_id cookie handling from the plugin until a patch is applied.
