Description

The GSheetConnector For Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions less than, or equal to, 1.3.27. This is due to a missing capability check on the 'install_plugin' function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above to install plugins on the target site and potentially achieve arbitrary code execution on the server under certain conditions.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

The vulnerability in the GSheetConnector For Gravity Forms WordPress plugin (versions <= 1.3.27) is an authorization bypass caused by a missing capability check in the 'install_plugin' function. This allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to install plugins on the site, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on the server under certain conditions.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers with low-level authenticated access to install plugins on the WordPress site, which can lead to arbitrary code execution on the server. This means an attacker could take control of the server, compromise site integrity, steal data, or disrupt services.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, immediately update the GSheetConnector For Gravity Forms plugin to a version later than 1.3.27 where the authorization bypass issue is fixed. Additionally, restrict subscriber-level access and review user permissions to minimize risk until the update is applied.
