CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe 6Storage Rentals plugin for WordPress is critically vulnerable to authentication bypass, allowing unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user, including administrators, by exploiting the AJAX handler that lacks proper verification mechanisms. This vulnerability poses a severe risk of unauthorized access and potential compromise of sensitive data. WordPress site administrators using this plugin should prioritize immediate updates to version 2.27.1 or later to mitigate the threat.
Original NVD Description
The 6Storage Rentals plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in versions up to, and including, 2.27.0. This is due to the six_storage_create_wp_user() AJAX handler being registered on wp_ajax_nopriv_six_storage_create_wp_user without any nonce, capability, credential, or ownership verification, while calling wp_set_current_user() and wp_set_auth_cookie() for any WordPress user resolved by the attacker-supplied email address. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress user, including administrators, by submitting that user's email address.
