CVE-2024-13703: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in vcita CRM and Lead Management by vcita
The CRM and Lead Management by vcita plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the vcita_ajax_toggle_ae() function in all versions up to, and including, 2.7.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to enable and disable plugin widgets.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13703 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the vcita CRM and Lead Management WordPress plugin. The issue arises from the lack of a capability check in the vcita_ajax_toggle_ae() function, permitting authenticated users with low privileges (Subscriber and above) to modify plugin widget states. This could lead to unauthorized modification of plugin behavior but does not impact confidentiality or availability directly. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.7.5.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can enable or disable plugin widgets without proper authorization. This unauthorized modification could affect the plugin's functionality or user interface but does not disclose sensitive data or cause denial of service. The impact is limited to integrity of plugin configuration.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Subscriber-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious changes to plugin widgets. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to low-level authenticated users.
