CVE-2025-11986: CWE-306 Missing Authentication for Critical Function in odude Crypto Tool

VulnerabilityCVE-2025-11986cvecve-2025-11986cwe-306
Published: Tue Nov 11 2025 (11/11/2025, 03:30:51 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: odude
Product: Crypto Tool

Description

The Crypto plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.22. This is due to the plugin registering an unauthenticated AJAX action (wp_ajax_nopriv_crypto_connect_ajax_process) that allows calling the register and savenft methods with only a publicly-available nonce check and no wallet signature verification. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to set a site-wide global authentication state via a single transient, bypassing all access controls for ALL visitors to the site. The impact is complete bypass of [crypto-block] shortcode restrictions and page-level access controls, affecting all site visitors for one hour, plus the ability to inject arbitrary data into the plugin's custom_users table.

Technical Analysis

The odude Crypto Tool WordPress plugin registers an unauthenticated AJAX action (wp_ajax_nopriv_crypto_connect_ajax_process) that permits calling critical methods (register and savenft) with only a publicly available nonce check but no wallet signature verification. This missing authentication allows attackers to set a site-wide global authentication transient, bypassing all access controls for all visitors for one hour. Additionally, attackers can inject arbitrary data into the plugin's custom_users table, potentially impacting site integrity.

Potential Impact

The vulnerability leads to a complete bypass of the [crypto-block] shortcode restrictions and page-level access controls for all site visitors for one hour. It also allows injection of arbitrary data into the plugin's custom_users table. The CVSS score is 5.3 (medium), indicating limited confidentiality impact, no integrity or availability impact, and no privileges or user interaction required for exploitation.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since no patch or official fix information is provided, site administrators should monitor the vendor's advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, consider disabling the vulnerable plugin or restricting access to the affected AJAX actions if possible.
