Description
The AutomatorWP – Automator plugin for no-code automations, webhooks & custom integrations in WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.8.4. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to retrieve all ConvertKit form data configured by the site's manager account, exposing integration details intended to be restricted to plugin managers. The required nonce is localized on every admin page load, making it accessible to any authenticated user who can reach /wp-admin.

AI Analysis

Impact

The AutomatorWP plugin for WordPress lacks a proper authorization check on the automatorwp_convertkit_get_forms AJAX action. This flaw allows any authenticated user with subscriber-level or higher privileges to retrieve complete ConvertKit form data that was configured by the site’s manager. The exposed data includes integration details that are meant to be restricted solely to plugin managers, resulting in a disclosure of sensitive information. The weakness is a classic authorization bypass, identified as CWE‑862.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running AutomatorWP plugin version 5.8.4 or earlier, including the 5.8.x release line from the rubengc vendor. No other products are explicitly mentioned as affected in the CNA data.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.3 indicates moderate overall severity. Because the EPSS score is not available, the exploitation probability is unknown, but the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. An attacker requires only authentication and a subscriber-level account, which is very common on WordPress sites. The attack vector is an authenticated, AJAX‑based request; the required nonce is placed on every admin page, so any logged‑in user can obtain it and trigger the vulnerable action. Attackers could therefore harvest sensitive integration data without administrative access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade AutomatorWP to version 5.8.5 or newer to apply the vendor’s fix.
  • Disable the ConvertKit integration on sites where an upgrade is not feasible, or restrict /wp-admin access for subscriber roles through role‑based access control.
  • If the integration cannot be disabled, implement a server‑side check to block the automatorwp_convertkit_get_forms AJAX action for users who are not plugin managers.
