Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Chartify – WordPress Chart Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.9. This is due to the plugin registering an unauthenticated AJAX action that dispatches to admin-class methods based on a request parameter, without any nonce or capability checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute administrative functions via the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint granted they can identify callable method names.

Executive Summary

The vulnerability in the Chartify WordPress Chart Plugin allows unauthenticated attackers to execute administrative functions because the plugin registers an AJAX action without requiring authentication or capability checks. This means attackers can call admin-class methods via the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint if they know the method names, potentially performing actions that should be restricted to administrators.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow unauthorized users to perform administrative actions on a WordPress site using the Chartify plugin, potentially leading to unauthorized changes or disruptions. Although it does not directly impact confidentiality or availability, it can affect the integrity of the site by allowing attackers to modify data or settings without permission.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately update the Chartify – WordPress Chart Plugin to a version later than 3.5.9 where the issue is fixed. If an update is not available, restrict access to the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint to authenticated users only, and consider disabling or removing the plugin until a patch is applied.
