CVE-2024-8675: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in soumettre Soumettre.fr
The Soumettre.fr plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the soumettre_disconnect_gateway function in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.3. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to disconnect the gateway and delete the API key.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-8675 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Soumettre.fr WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 2.1.3. The vulnerability arises because the soumettre_disconnect_gateway function lacks proper capability checks, enabling authenticated users with Subscriber-level privileges or higher to disconnect the payment gateway and delete the API key. This unauthorized modification can disrupt plugin functionality related to payment processing. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3 (medium), reflecting low complexity and limited impact on confidentiality and availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with at least Subscriber-level access can disconnect the payment gateway and delete the API key, leading to unauthorized modification of plugin settings. This may disrupt payment processing functionality but does not directly compromise data confidentiality or availability. There are no known active exploits targeting this vulnerability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Subscriber-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to gateway disconnections. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to low-level authenticated users.
