Description
The Material Dashboard plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to missing capability checks on the amd_ajax_target_task_manager() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.10. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate all scheduled tasks (potentially exposing PII), execute arbitrary tasks, and delete any task via the public_amd_ajax_handler AJAX action.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Material Dashboard plugin for WordPress contains a missing capability check in the amd_ajax_target_task_manager() function. As a result, the public_amd_ajax_handler AJAX endpoint can be accessed by any visitor. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate all scheduled tasks, execute them, or delete them. The flaw may expose personally identifiable information stored in tasks, allow execution of arbitrary code, or disrupt site operations. The weakness is identified as CWE‑862, Missing Authorization.

Affected Systems

The affected vendor is ho3einie and the product is the Material Dashboard WordPress plugin. All releases up to and including version 1.4.10 are vulnerable. No other version or product information is available.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.3 reflects a moderate‑to‑high severity. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no publicly reported exploits yet. However, the lack of authentication on the AJAX endpoint means an attacker can simply send crafted HTTP requests to public_amd_ajax_handler to enumerate, run, or delete tasks, thereby compromising confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the site.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Material Dashboard to a version newer than 1.4.10 to apply the missing authorization fix.
  • If an update is not immediately possible, restrict or remove the public_amd_ajax_handler AJAX action so that only users with the required capability can access it, for example by adding a capability check in the plugin code or filtering the AJAX request on the server side.
  • If the plugin is not essential, consider disabling or uninstalling it to eliminate the vulnerability until a fix is available.
