Description
The TillKit WordPress plugin before 1.0.5 does not require the hard-coded, publicly known PIN of the privileged POS account it creates on activation to be changed before use, and it authenticates its public POS login endpoint on that PIN alone with no identity or capability check, allowing unauthenticated attackers to obtain a privileged POS session and thereby read customer and site-user personal data and modify store data.

AI Analysis

Impact

The TillKit WordPress plugin creates a privileged point‑of‑sale account with a hard‑coded, publicly known PIN during activation and fails to require the PIN be changed before use. The public POS login endpoint authenticates a user solely on that PIN, with no additional identity or capability verification. This flaw enables an attacker to supply the known PIN and obtain a privileged POS session, read customer data, view site‑user personal information, and modify store inventory or transactions.

Affected Systems

All installations of the TillKit WordPress plugin from the unknown vendor identity that are running a version earlier than 1.0.5 are impacted. The plugin provides POS functionality for WordPress sites, and any site using this plugin without upgrading is exposed.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability offers a remote, unauthenticated attack vector that requires only knowledge of the hard‑coded PIN. The CVSS score of 8.2 classifies it as high severity, and the EPSS score of < 1% indicates a low but non-zero exploitation probability. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can trigger the vulnerable endpoint with a simple HTTP request, making exploitation extremely low effort and easily automated. The resulting compromise can reveal sensitive customer and site‑user data and allow full control of store operations.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the TillKit WordPress plugin to version 1.0.5 or newer, which requires the PIN to be changed and adds proper authentication checks.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, manually change the hard‑coded PIN in the database and disable the public POS login endpoint or restrict it to a trusted network segment.
  • Apply network‑level restrictions or firewalls to limit access to the POS endpoint only to authorized personnel or systems, and enable comprehensive logging of all POS authentication attempts for monitoring and forensic purposes.
