CVE-2024-8350: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in Uncanny Owl Uncanny Groups for LearnDash
The Uncanny Groups for LearnDash plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to user group add due to a missing capability check on the /wp-json/ulgm_management/v1/add_user/ REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 6.1.0.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with group leader-level access and above, to add users to their group which ultimately allows them to leverage CVE-2024-8349 and gain admin access to the site.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-8350 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Uncanny Groups for LearnDash WordPress plugin. The issue exists because the /wp-json/ulgm_management/v1/add_user/ REST API endpoint does not properly verify user capabilities before allowing addition of users to groups. Authenticated attackers with group leader-level permissions or higher can exploit this to add users to their groups. This can be chained with CVE-2024-8349 to gain administrative access to the WordPress site. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 6.1.0.1. No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with group leader-level access or higher can add users to their group without proper authorization checks. This can facilitate privilege escalation when combined with CVE-2024-8349, potentially leading to full administrative control of the WordPress site. The direct impact is limited to integrity (ability to modify group membership) with no confidentiality or availability impact indicated. The overall severity is low due to the prerequisite of authenticated group leader privileges.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict group leader privileges to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to group membership changes. Avoid granting group leader-level access to untrusted users. Review and apply any vendor updates or patches once released.
