Vulnerability Summary\nThe **Cryptocurrency Donation Box – Bitcoin & Crypto Donations** plugin (up to 2.2.13) registers AJAX handlers that perform sensitive actions (likely updating wallet addresses or plugin settings) without properly checking the user's capabilities. Specifically, if a function is hooked to `wp_ajax_nopriv_`, it is accessible to unauthenticated users. If it is only hooked to `wp_ajax_` but lacks a `current_user_can()` check, it is accessible to any logged-in user (subscriber-level). The description \"unauthenticated attackers\" strongly suggests the existence of a `wp_ajax_nopriv_` hook or a failure in the initial check that allows the request to proceed.\n\n### 2. Attack Vector Analysis\n*   **Endpoint:** `\u002Fwp-admin\u002Fadmin-ajax.php`\n*   **Action:** `cb_save_settings` or `cryptobox_ajax_update` (inferred based on plugin naming conventions)\n*   **Vulnerable Parameter:** `$_POST` data containing wallet addresses (e.g., `btc_address`, `eth_address`) or general plugin settings.\n*   **Authentication:** Unauthenticated (via `wp_ajax_nopriv_`) or low-privileged users.\n*   **Preconditions:** A valid WordPress nonce for the specific AJAX action may be required, although the core issue is the lack of authorization (capability check) after the nonce is verified.\n\n### 3. Code Flow (Inferred)\n1.  **Entry Point:** The plugin registers an AJAX handler during `init` or `admin_init`:\n    `add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_cb_save_settings', 'cb_save_settings_callback' );` (inferred)\n2.  **Handler:** The function `cb_save_settings_callback()` is called.\n3.  **Missing Check:** The function likely calls `check_ajax_referer()` (nonce check) but fails to call `current_user_can( 'manage_options' )`.\n4.  **Sink:** The function processes `$_POST` data and updates WordPress options using `update_option()` or `update_post_meta()`.\n\n### 4. Nonce Acquisition Strategy\nIf the plugin enforces a nonce, it is typically exposed on the frontend where the donation box is displayed.\n\n1.  **Identify Shortcode:** The plugin uses the shortcode `[cryptocurrency_donation_box]` (inferred) to display the box.\n2.  **Create Test Page:**\n    `wp post create --post_type=page --post_status=publish --post_title=\"Donation\" --post_content='[cryptocurrency_donation_box]'`\n3.  **Identify Localization Key:** Search the codebase for `wp_localize_script`. The variable name is likely `cb_ajax_obj` or `cryptobox_vars`.\n4.  **Extract via Browser:**\n    Navigate to the newly created page and execute:\n    `browser_eval(\"window.cb_ajax_obj?.nonce\")` (inferred) or check the HTML source for a hidden input field `id=\"cb_nonce\"`.\n\n### 5. Exploitation Strategy\nThis plan assumes the attacker aims to hijack donations by replacing the legitimate BTC address with an attacker-controlled one.\n\n**Step 1: Discover Action and Nonce Key**\nSearch the plugin directory for the AJAX registration:\n`grep -rn \"wp_ajax_nopriv\" .`\nFind the associated function and identify the nonce action string used in `check_ajax_referer('action_string', 'param_name')`.\n\n**Step 2: Prepare Payload**\n*   **URL:** `http:\u002F\u002F\u003Ctarget>\u002Fwp-admin\u002Fadmin-ajax.php`\n*   **Method:** POST\n*   **Headers:** `Content-Type: application\u002Fx-www-form-urlencoded`\n*   **Body:** \n    `action=cb_save_settings&cb_nonce=NONCE_VALUE&btc_address=1AttackerAddressHere&eth_address=0xAttackerAddressHere` (parameters inferred)\n\n**Step 3: Execute Request**\nUse the `http_request` tool to send the POST payload.\n\n### 6. Test Data Setup\n1.  **Install Plugin:** Ensure `cryptocurrency-donation-box` version 2.2.13 is installed.\n2.  **Initial Configuration:** Configure a legitimate BTC address in the plugin settings via the admin UI.\n3.  **Public Page:** Create a page with the shortcode `[cryptocurrency_donation_box]` to ensure scripts and nonces are generated.\n\n### 7. Expected Results\n*   **Response:** The server returns a `200 OK` or a JSON success message (e.g., `{\"success\":true}`).\n*   **Outcome:** The plugin's settings are updated in the database without any administrator interaction.\n*   **Frontend Change:** When viewing the donation page, the \"Bitcoin Address\" displayed in the donation box now shows the attacker's address.\n\n### 8. Verification Steps\n1.  **Check Options Table:**\n    Use WP-CLI to verify the option value:\n    `wp option get cb_btc_address` (inferred)\n    Verify it matches `1AttackerAddressHere`.\n2.  **Frontend Inspection:**\n    `browser_navigate(\"http:\u002F\u002F\u003Ctarget>\u002Fdonation-page\u002F\")`\n    Inspect the donation box element to confirm the displayed address has changed.\n\n### 9. Alternative Approaches\n*   **Missing Nonce:** If `check_ajax_referer` is entirely missing, the exploit is a trivial POST request with no nonce required.\n*   **Different Actions:** Search for other `wp_ajax_nopriv` actions such as `cb_delete_log`, `cb_update_wallet`, or `cb_export_settings` which might leak information or allow site disruption.\n*   **Subscriber Access:** If `wp_ajax_nopriv` is not present, test the `wp_ajax_` (authenticated) version using a Subscriber account to see if the capability check is still missing.","The Cryptocurrency Donation Box plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized settings modification due to a missing capability check in its AJAX handlers.

Nonce Extraction: Navigate to any page on the target site where the donation box shortcode [cryptocurrency_donation_box] is active. Extract the security nonce from the frontend, typically found in the localized JavaScript object (e.g., cb_ajax_obj.nonce) or as a hidden input field.\n2. Target Endpoint: Use the WordPress AJAX endpoint at \u002Fwp-admin\u002Fadmin-ajax.php.\n3.

Unauthorized Execution: Send the request. Since the handler is registered with wp_ajax_nopriv_ and lacks a capability check like current_user_can('manage_options'), the server will update the plugin options in the database, effectively redirecting future donations to the attacker.","gemini-3-flash-preview","2026-04-19 01:26:08","2026-04-19 01:26:24",{"type":32,"vulnerable_version":9,"fixed_version":9,"vulnerable_browse":9,"vulnerable_zip":9,"fixed_browse":9,"fixed_zip":9,"all_tags":33},"plugin","https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.trac.wordpress.org\u002Fbrowser\u002Fcryptocurrency-donation-box\u002Ftags"]
