CVE-2026-10034: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in legalweb WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR)
The WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.39. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to supply an arbitrary victim email address and trigger immediate SAR processing via the process_now and is_ajax parameters, receiving tokenized download links (zip_link, pdf_link) in the HTTP response that expose the victim's personal data — including WordPress account details, comment author names, email addresses, IP addresses, and comment content — without any proof of ownership. The nonce used for the CSRF check is publicly rendered by the SAR shortcode form and is shared across all anonymous visitors, meaning any unauthenticated attacker can trivially obtain a valid nonce and bypass this gate entirely.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-10034 is an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-862) in the WP DSGVO Tools (GDPR) WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to and including 3.1.39. The plugin fails to verify that a user is authorized to perform Subject Access Request (SAR) actions. Attackers can supply arbitrary victim email addresses and use the process_now and is_ajax parameters to trigger immediate SAR processing. The nonce used for CSRF protection is publicly rendered and shared among anonymous users, allowing attackers to bypass authorization checks easily. Successful exploitation results in exposure of personal data including WordPress account details, comment author names, email addresses, IP addresses, and comment content via tokenized download links in HTTP responses.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can bypass authorization controls to trigger SAR processing for any victim email address, resulting in unauthorized disclosure of personal data protected under GDPR. The exposed data includes WordPress account details and comment-related personal information. This compromises user privacy and may violate data protection regulations. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability but results in a confidentiality breach.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch information is provided at this time. Until a patch is available, restrict access to the plugin's SAR functionality or disable the plugin if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
