CVE-2024-13513: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in oliverpos Oliver POS – A WooCommerce Point of Sale (POS)
The Oliver POS – A WooCommerce Point of Sale (POS) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.2.3 via the logging functionality. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including the plugin's clientToken, which in turn can be used to change user account information including emails and account type. This allows attackers to then change account passwords resulting in a complete site takeover. Version 2.4.2.3 disabled logging but left sites with existing log files vulnerable.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13513 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Oliver POS – A WooCommerce Point of Sale (POS) WordPress plugin. The flaw exists in the logging functionality of all versions up to and including 2.4.2.3, exposing sensitive data such as the clientToken to unauthenticated attackers. This token can be leveraged to alter user account information and reset passwords, leading to complete site takeover. Although logging was disabled in version 2.4.2.3, sites with pre-existing log files remain at risk. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication and requires no user interaction.
Potential Impact
An attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive plugin data, including the clientToken, which allows modification of user account details and password resets. This leads to a full compromise of the affected WordPress site running the vulnerable Oliver POS plugin. The vulnerability has a critical CVSS score of 9.8, reflecting high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently documented. Version 2.4.2.3 disables logging to mitigate new exposures, but existing log files remain vulnerable. Site administrators should remove or secure any existing log files created by the plugin to prevent unauthorized access. Monitor vendor advisories for any forthcoming official fixes or updates. Until a patch is released, restricting access to the plugin's files and logs at the web server level may reduce exposure.
