Summary

The Chartify – WordPress Chart Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.9. This is due to the plugin registering an unauthenticated AJAX action that dispatches to admin-class methods based on a request parameter, without any nonce or capability checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute administrative functions via the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint granted they can identify callable method names.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes the possibility of executing administrative functions by an unauthenticated attacker, which could lead to full takeover of the WordPress site, including content modification, malware installation, or data theft.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately update the Chartify plugin to the latest available version that includes the fix. Access to the admin-ajax.php endpoint should also be restricted if possible.
