Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-352.
Summary
The Komfortkasse for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 1.4.9 does not properly validate the authenticity of REST API requests (CWE-352). A request forged in the browser of a logged-in administrator is accepted, so an unauthenticated remote attacker who tricks the administrator into visiting a malicious page can create a new administrator account and take over the site. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA
The Komfortkasse for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 1.4.9 does not properly validate the authenticity of REST API requests, overriding WordPress's own nonce verification so that a request forged in a logged-in administrator's browser is accepted, which can be used to create a new administrator account and fully take over the site.
