AI-suggested
A fix is available in versions later than 1.4.4. Users should upgrade AutomatorWP Pro plugin's webhook addon to a version newer than 1.4.4 to remediate this vulnerability. Until patched, avoid configuring automations that pair a Receive Webhook trigger with an Update-User action as described, or restrict webhook access to trusted sources only.
Description
A critical authorization bypass vulnerability exists in the AutomatorWP Pro plugin for WordPress, specifically in the webhook addon, affecting all versions up to and including 1.4.4. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to reset passwords of any WordPress user account, including administrators, leading to full account takeover. Exploitation requires a specific plugin configuration involving a Receive Webhook trigger paired with an Update-User action with certain fields left blank or mapped to the webhook password tag.
