The Rich Showcase for Google Reviews plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 7.1.6 This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action.

Executive Summary

The Rich Showcase for Google Reviews plugin for WordPress has an authorization bypass vulnerability in versions up to 7.1.6. This flaw allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to retrieve a site-wide authentication secret. This secret can then be used to impersonate the WordPress site to the RichPlugins backend service.

Detection Guidance

Check WordPress plugin files for unauthorized access or modifications. Look for the grw_auth_code in plugin settings or database. Review user roles and permissions for contributors or higher with unexpected activity.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to gain unauthorized access to the plugin's backend service, potentially compromising the WordPress site. This could lead to data breaches, unauthorized modifications, or further attacks on the site or its users.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and data exposure, which may violate GDPR or HIPAA requirements for data protection and access control. Organizations using this plugin may face compliance violations and potential legal consequences.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Rich Showcase for Google Reviews plugin to version 7.1.7 or later. Remove contributor-level access for users not explicitly required. Rotate the grw_auth_code if exposed and monitor for unauthorized site impersonation.
