CVE-2025-12469
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The FunnelKit Automations – Email Marketing Automation and CRM for WordPress & WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.4.1. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform administrative actions in the `bwfan_test_email` AJAX handler. The nonce used for verification is publicly exposed to all visitors (including unauthenticated users) via the frontend JavaScript localization, and the `check_nonce()` function accepts low-privilege authenticated users who possess this nonce. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to send arbitrary emails from the site with attacker-controlled subject and body content.

"value": "El plugin FunnelKit Automations - Email Marketing Automation and CRM para WordPress & WooCommerce es vulnerable a la falta de autorización en todas las versiones hasta la 3.6.4.1, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin no verifica correctamente que un usuario está autorizado para realizar acciones administrativas en el manejador AJAX 'bwfan_test_email'. El nonce utilizado para la verificación está expuesto públicamente a todos los visitantes (incluidos los usuarios no autenticados) a través de la localización JavaScript del frontend, y la función 'check_nonce()' acepta usuarios autenticados de bajo privilegio que poseen este nonce. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Suscriptor y superior, envíen correos electrónicos arbitrarios desde el sitio con contenido de asunto y cuerpo controlado por el atacante."
