CVE-2025-3102 Scanner

The SureTriggers – All-in-One Automation Platform is a plugin for WordPress that provides automation solutions for various tasks and workflows. It is widely used by website administrators and developers who aim to streamline repetitive tasks using automation. SureTriggers integrates with multiple services and applications within the WordPress ecosystem, allowing users to create seamless interactions. It serves as a crucial tool for digital marketers, e-commerce site operators, and bloggers who frequently need to manage complex workflows. By simplifying automation processes, SureTriggers saves time and reduces the potential for human error. The plugin’s widespread application makes it a valuable asset to many WordPress users who require efficient automation capabilities.

The Missing Authorization vulnerability in the SureTriggers – All-in-One Automation Platform is a critical security flaw found in versions ≤ 1.0.78. This vulnerability arises from a missing empty value check on the 'secret_key' in the 'authenticate_user' function. The absence of a proper authorization check allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit the system and create administrator accounts. When the SureTriggers plugin is installed but not configured with an API key, affected versions are susceptible to unauthorized access. The issue is particularly concerning because it can lead to full administrative control over a WordPress site by malicious users. Mitigating this vulnerability involves ensuring that the plugin is correctly configured and updated to later versions where this flaw is resolved.

The technical details of the Missing Authorization vulnerability involve the sensitive endpoint '/wp-json/sure-triggers/v1/automation/action' being open to exploitation. Attackers can send specially crafted HTTP POST requests to manipulate user authentication due to the flawed checking mechanism in place. The vulnerable parameter is the 'secret_key', which is crucial for verifying authorization. If this parameter is bypassed or improperly handled, it results in an opportunity for attackers to escalate privileges. Specifically, the attacker can generate a new administrator account by providing arbitrary credentials. This breach not only exposes configuration flaws but also demonstrates the importance of rigorous authorization checks when handling sensitive operations.

If exploited, the Missing Authorization vulnerability could lead to severe consequences for affected WordPress sites. Malicious actors gaining administrator privileges can potentially alter website content, inject malicious code, and manipulate site settings. There is also the risk of data theft, as unauthorized access to sensitive information becomes possible. Additionally, compromised sites may be used to launch further attacks on users or other connected systems. The potential for reputational damage is significant if users’ trust in the security of a website is diminished. Moreover, this vulnerability could negatively impact a website's search engine rankings if associated with malicious activity.
