Rewterz Threat Advisory – Critical WordPress Bug

January 16, 2020

Severity

High

Analysis Summary

Two WordPress plugins, InfiniteWP Client and WP Time Capsule, suffer from the same critical authorization bypass bug that allows adversaries to access a site’s backend with no password.

The InfiniteWP Client Bug

The issue resides in the function iwp_mmb_set_request which is located in the init.php file. This function checks if the request_params variable of the class IWP_MMB_Core is not empty, which is only populated when the payload meets certain conditions.

WP Time Capsule Bug

Located in wptc-cron-functions.php line 12 where it parses the request. The parse_request function calls the function decode_server_request_wptc which check if the raw POST payload contains the string ‘IWP_JSON_PREFIX’.

Impact
