Vulnerability Overview

The WP-Chatbot for Messenger plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access and modification of data due to missing capability checks on several functions like csv(), cancel_subscribe(), create_subscribe(), notice_lead_off(), banner_off() and many more called via AJAX actions in versions up to, and including, 4.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify the plugin's settings, manipulate subscription settings, and export submitted form data.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 4.8, 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.
