Summary

The Botiga Pro WordPress plugin before 1.6.5 does not perform any authorisation checks on one of its REST routes, allowing unauthenticated users to update arbitrary WordPress options with arbitrary values, which could lead to privilege escalation and a full site takeover. The same route also allows unauthenticated users to store arbitrary web scripts which are then executed on every page of the site's front end, as well as to move arbitrary posts to the trash.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can fully compromise the site by changing critical settings, injecting malicious scripts, or deleting content, leading to data loss and loss of user trust.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to version 1.6.5 or later. Immediately restrict access to REST routes and check for unauthorized changes to WordPress options.
