34th percentile - higher than 34% of all known CVEs

Summary

The CMS Commander plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to the use of an insufficiently unique cryptographic signature on the 'cmsc_add_site' function in versions up to and including 2.287. This allows unauthenticated attackers to change the '_cmsc_public_key' in the plugin config, providing access to the plugin's remote control functionalities.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can gain access to the plugin's administrative functions, potentially leading to privilege escalation. The risk is heightened if this vulnerability is combined with another vulnerability that allows arbitrary plugin installation and activation.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the CMS Commander plugin to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, conduct an audit of installed plugins to identify potential vulnerabilities.

Original NVD description (English source)

The CMS Commander plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to the use of an insufficiently unique cryptographic signature on the 'cmsc_add_site' function in versions up to, and including, 2.287. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to the plugin to change the '_cmsc_public_key' in the plugin config, providing access to the plugin's remote control functionalities, such as creating an admin access URL, which can be used for privilege escalation. This can only be exploited if the plugin has not been configured yet, however, if combined with another arbitrary plugin installation and activation vulnerability, the impact can be severe.
