Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

The MStore API plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to missing capability checks on several functions called via AJAX actions such as mstore_delete_json_file, mstore_update_limit_product, mstore_update_firebase_server_key, mstore_update_new_order_title, mstore_update_new_order_message, mstore_update_status_order_title, and mstore_update_status_order_message in versions up to, and including, 3.9.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as a subscriber, to perform several unauthorized actions that allow the attacker to control the plugins settings. This was partially patched in 3.9.6 but not fully patched until 3.9.7. CVE-2023-3209 Also applies to this vulnerability.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 3.9.7, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
