CVE-2026-12124: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in wpeverest PDFDraft – Drag & Drop PDF Builder, PDF Viewer, Embed & Download PDF, Certificate & Invoice Designer
The PDFDraft – Drag & Drop PDF Builder, PDF Viewer, Embed & Download PDF, Certificate & Invoice Designer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the serveTemplatePdfAjax() function and the serveTemplatePdf() REST route (which is registered with `permission_callback => '__return_true'`) in versions up to, and including, 1.1.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download stored template PDFs — which may contain customer PII, invoice, order, and certificate data — by requesting the publicly registered admin-ajax action `pdfdraft_embed_pdf` or the REST endpoint `/wp-json/pdfdraft/v1/embed-pdf/templates/{slug}/pdf` with a known or guessable design slug, bypassing the plugin's own .
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The PDFDraft – Drag & Drop PDF Builder, PDF Viewer, Embed & Download PDF, Certificate & Invoice Designer plugin for WordPress suffers from a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in the serveTemplatePdfAjax() function and the serveTemplatePdf() REST route. The REST route is registered with a permission callback that always returns true, allowing unauthenticated users to access stored template PDFs by invoking the admin-ajax action 'pdfdraft_embed_pdf' or the REST endpoint '/wp-json/pdfdraft/v1/embed-pdf/templates/{slug}/pdf' with a known or guessable design slug. This vulnerability affects versions up to and including 1.1.0 and exposes customer personally identifiable information (PII), invoice, order, and certificate data.
Potential Impact
Unauthenticated attackers can download sensitive stored template PDFs that may contain customer PII, invoices, orders, and certificates. This leads to confidentiality loss of sensitive customer and business data. There is no impact on integrity or availability reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch or official fix is available, restrict access to the affected AJAX actions and REST endpoints via web application firewall rules or other access controls to prevent unauthorized access. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches once released.
