At a glance
This record tracks a high-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Make Connector WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.5.1. It carries a CVSS score of 8.8 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality, integrity, availability impact). The root cause is a missing authorization check on a reachable function. The issue is fixed in version 1.5.2; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed August 2022.
Vulnerability Overview
The Make, formerly Integromat Connector plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary options updates in versions up to, and including, 1.5.1 due to missing authorization checks on the function called via 'admin_menu' in addition to insufficient option validation. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as a subscriber, to update arbitrary options on a vulnerable site which can be used to create new administrative user accounts or redirect site visitors to a malicious domain among many other actions.
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. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Make Connector <= 1.5.1 carries this weakness at admin_menu, and reaching it 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 Make Connector the fix is 1.5.2: builds <= 1.5.1 are affected, anything from 1.5.2 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.5.2, 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: Make Connector 1.5.2 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
