At a glance
CVE-2022-3694 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Syncee Premium Dropshipping & Wholesale WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.0.9. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (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 1.0.10; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed October 2022, reported by 5h4m4n53c.
Vulnerability Overview
The Syncee – Global Dropshipping plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to to Missing Authorization to Sensitive Information Disclosure in versions up to, and including, 1.0.9. This is due to a missing capability check on the /wp-json/syncee/supplier/v1/getDataForFrontend REST-API endpoint. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform a GET request to that information that discloses information like the site's syncee_access_token and data_to_syncee_installer values.
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 Syncee Premium Dropshipping & Wholesale <= 1.0.9 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 Syncee Premium Dropshipping & Wholesale the fix is 1.0.10: builds <= 1.0.9 are affected, anything from 1.0.10 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.0.10, 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: Syncee Premium Dropshipping & Wholesale 1.0.10 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
