Executive Summary

This is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Scratch & Win – Giveaways and Contests WordPress plugin. It allows users with basic Subscriber-level access to bypass access controls and perform unauthorized actions, such as viewing restricted pages or other users' data. The flaw exists due to incorrectly configured access control security levels in versions up to 3.0.2.

Detection Guidance

Check if the WordPress Scratch & Win – Giveaways and Contests plugin is installed and its version is 3.0.2 or below. Use commands like 'wp plugin list' in WordPress CLI or inspect the plugin files in /wp-content/plugins/scratch-win-giveaways-for-website-facebook/. Look for unauthorized access attempts in server logs or WordPress activity logs.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to access sensitive information like user data, perform unauthorized actions, or escalate privileges. Since it requires only low-privilege access, it increases the risk of mass exploitation across many websites using the vulnerable plugin version.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to personal data, violating GDPR and HIPAA requirements for data protection and access controls. Non-compliance may result in legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the plugin to version 3.1.0 or later immediately. If updating is not possible, apply the mitigation rule provided by Patchstack. Restrict user privileges to the minimum required level and monitor for suspicious activity.
