CVE-2024-9821: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in guruteam Bot for Telegram on WooCommerce
The Bot for Telegram on WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure due to missing authorization checks on the 'stm_wpcfto_get_settings' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to view the Telegram Bot Token, a secret token used to control the bot, which can then be used to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they know the username, due to the Login with Telegram feature.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-9821 affects the Bot for Telegram on WooCommerce plugin for WordPress by exposing the Telegram Bot Token through the 'stm_wpcfto_get_settings' AJAX action without proper authorization. Authenticated attackers with subscriber-level privileges or higher can access this token, which is intended to be secret. Possession of the token enables attackers to impersonate any user on the site, including administrators, via the Login with Telegram functionality. The vulnerability impacts all versions up to and including 1.2.7. No patch or official fix information is provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with subscriber-level access can obtain the Telegram Bot Token, a sensitive secret, enabling them to authenticate as any user on the WordPress site, including administrators. This leads to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected site. The CVSS score of 8.8 reflects the high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
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 consider disabling the Login with Telegram feature if possible to reduce risk. Monitor for vendor updates and apply patches promptly once released.
