Summary

The WP Encryption WordPress plugin before version 7.8.8.2 does not perform a capability or nonce check on one of the handlers that drives its SSL certificate-provisioning routine, allowing unauthenticated users to make the WP Encryption WordPress plugin before 7.8.8.2 overwrite the site's certificate private key and replace its pending Let's Encrypt order and challenge material with a single request. Repeated requests keep regenerating the material, preventing the administrator from completing certificate issuance.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can disrupt the SSL certificate issuance process, preventing the administrator from completing certificate issuance, potentially leading to HTTPS service outages or key integrity compromise.

Recommendation

Update the WP Encryption plugin to version 7.8.8.2 or later, which includes the fix adding capability and nonce checks.
