What the vulnerability does
The WP Crowdfunding plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized plugin installation due to a missing capability check on the install_woocommerce_plugin() function action in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.12. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to install WooCommerce. This has a limited impact on most sites because WooCommerce is a requirement.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
WP Crowdfunding versions 2.1.12 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to modify data they should not have access to. An attacker with a low-privilege account can alter campaign or fundraising information without proper permission validation. This affects the integrity of crowdfunding campaigns and user data on affected WordPress sites.
What an attacker can do
Modify crowdfunding campaign data or settings without proper authorization.
Potential impact on your site
Crowdfunding campaigns and fundraising data can be altered by unauthorized users, compromising campaign integrity.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege WordPress user account (e.g., subscriber or contributor).
