CVE-2024-4410
At a glance
CVE-2024-4410 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the IgnitionDeck Crowdfunding Platform WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.9.8. It carries a CVSS score of 5.4 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). The root cause is a missing authorization check on a reachable function. The issue is fixed in version 1.10.0; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed July 2024, reported by Marco Wotschka.
Vulnerability Overview
The IgnitionDeck Crowdfunding Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 1.9.8. This is due to missing capability checks on various functions called via AJAX actions in the ~/classes/class-idf-wizard.php file. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber access or higher, to execute various AJAX actions. This includes actions to change the permalink structure, plugin settings and others.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no interaction from a victim user.
CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Reaching this weakness in IgnitionDeck Crowdfunding Platform <= 1.9.8 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.
Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For IgnitionDeck Crowdfunding Platform the fix is 1.10.0: builds <= 1.9.8 are affected, anything from 1.10.0 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.10.0, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: IgnitionDeck Crowdfunding Platform 1.10.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
