Vulnerability Overview

The Popup by Supsystic WordPress plugin before 1.10.9 does not have any authentication and authorisation in an AJAX action, allowing unauthenticated attackers to call it and get the email addresses of subscribed users

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 privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user.

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Reaching this weakness in Customer Engagement System < 1.10.9 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For Customer Engagement System the fix is 1.10.9: builds < 1.10.9 are affected, anything from 1.10.9 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.10.9, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: Customer Engagement System 1.10.9 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
