Description
The Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 10.7.1. This is due to missing capability checks and nonce verification on multiple AJAX actions including wcap_save_connector_settings, wcap_send_manual_email, wcap_abandoned_cart_info, and wcap_change_manual_email_data. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify SMTP connector settings to route administrator recovery emails through an attacker-controlled server and intercept auto-login links to gain full administrative access. The plugin's auto-login feature must be enabled, which is the default configuration.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Abandoned Cart Pro plugin for WooCommerce contains missing capability checks and nonce verification on several AJAX actions. The flaw allows an authenticated user with a subscriber role or higher to modify SMTP connector settings and intercept administrator recovery emails. This can lead to complete administrative control of the WordPress site. The vulnerability is a classic privilege escalation weakness identified as CWE‑269.

Affected Systems

Tyche Softwares’ Abandoned Cart Pro for WooCommerce versions 10.7.1 and earlier are impacted. No specific sub‑versions are listed, so all releases up to and including 10.7.1 should be considered vulnerable. Users running any of these versions must review the plugin configuration and assess whether the auto‑login feature is enabled, as it is required for the exploitation path.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 8.8 indicates high severity. EPSS is not available, so the likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified, but the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no confirmed exploit activity yet. The attack vector is inferred to be through authenticated AJAX requests to the plugin’s endpoints. An attacker only needs a subscriber or higher role and the auto‑login feature enabled, both of which are common defaults. If those conditions are met, the attacker can gain full administrative access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Abandoned Cart Pro to a version newer than 10.7.1, which removes the missing capability checks and nonce verification.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, disable the auto‑login feature within the plugin settings to break the exploitation chain.
  • Implement least‑privilege access controls for WordPress users so that only trusted accounts have subscriber or higher roles, reducing the pool of potential attackers.
