CVE-2024-9707 – Hunk Companion <= 1.8.4 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Plugin Installation/Activation

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-9707

The Hunk Companion plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized plugin installation/activation due to a missing capability check on the /wp-json/hc/v1/themehunk-import REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to install and activate arbitrary plugins which can be leveraged to achieve remote code execution if another vulnerable plugin is installed and activated. • https://github.com/RandomRobbieBF/CVE-2024-9707 https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/9c101fca-037c-4bed-9dc7-baa021a8b59c?source=cve https://github.com/WordPressBugBounty/plugins-hunk-companion/blob/5a3cedc7b3d35d407b210e691c53c6cb400e4051/hunk-companion/import/app/app.php#L46 https://wordpress.org/plugins/hunk-companion https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3166501%40hunk-companion&new=3166501%40hunk-companion&sfp_email=&sfph_mail= • CWE-862: Missing Authorization •
