Technical Summary

The Coinbase Commerce for Contact Form 7 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to and including 1.1.2. This is due to a missing capability check and missing nonce verification in the save_settings() function, which is registered on the admin_post_cccf7_save_settings hook. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to overwrite the plugin's Coinbase Commerce API key option (cccf7_api_key) via a crafted POST request to /wp-admin/admin-post.

Potential Impact

Severity is MEDIUM (CVSS 4.3). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.

Exploitability Assessment

Exploitability is assessed as High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.

Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites

Mitigation Recommendations

Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.

Detection & Monitoring

Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.

Business Impact Lens

AI risk score 52/100 (Moderate, High) with priority P4 Planned. Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
