CVE-2026-4020: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in RocketGenius Gravity SMTP
The Gravity SMTP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.4. This is due to a REST API endpoint registered at /wp-json/gravitysmtp/v1/tests/mock-data with a permission_callback that unconditionally returns true, allowing any unauthenticated visitor to access it. When the ?page=gravitysmtp-settings query parameter is appended, the plugin's register_connector_data() method populates internal connector data, causing the endpoint to return approximately 365 KB of JSON containing the full System Report. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve detailed system configuration data including PHP version, loaded extensions, web server version, document root path, database server type and version, WordPress version, all active plugins with versions, active theme, WordPress configuration details, database table names, and any API keys/tokens configured in the plugin.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Gravity SMTP plugin for WordPress versions up to 2.1.4 contains a sensitive information exposure vulnerability (CWE-200) due to an insecure REST API endpoint. The endpoint /wp-json/gravitysmtp/v1/tests/mock-data is accessible without authentication because its permission_callback function unconditionally returns true. When accessed with the query parameter ?page=gravitysmtp-settings, the plugin returns a large JSON payload with detailed system and configuration data, including software versions, active plugins and themes, database details, and API keys configured in the plugin. This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, indicating high severity.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can retrieve extensive sensitive information about the WordPress environment and server configuration, including API keys and tokens. This information disclosure can facilitate further targeted attacks or exploitation by revealing system details that are normally restricted. There is no indication of direct code execution or data modification, but the confidentiality breach is significant.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the vulnerable REST API endpoint by disabling or limiting access to the Gravity SMTP plugin's REST routes, or remove the plugin if not in use. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
