WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities
CoCart 4.9.0 - 4.9.6 - Administrator Account Creation via REST API Authentication Bypass
Description
The plugin does not scope its REST API authentication filter to its own endpoints, which disables WordPress core's REST nonce protection for every route, allowing an attacker to perform a cross-site request forgery attack that creates a new administrator account using a logged-in administrator's session.
