Unauthenticated Account Takeover via Forged Cart Recovery Tokens

The Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 6.8.2 does not protect the integrity of its cart-recovery tokens or bind them to the requesting account, allowing unauthenticated attackers to forge a recovery link that logs them in as another user when the automatic-login option is enabled.

Casky was already ahead

This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 283matched skills already investigate — long before this vulnerability was disclosed. Claude's reasoning model maps these techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, so practitioners who ran these skills have already seen the threat behaviour in their findings.

Analysis

The Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce plugin before version 6.8.2 contains a critical authentication bypass vulnerability affecting WordPress e-commerce sites. The plugin fails to cryptographically protect cart-recovery tokens or bind them to specific user accounts, enabling attackers to forge valid recovery links. When the automatic-login feature is enabled—a common configuration—these forged tokens grant unauthenticated attackers immediate access to arbitrary user accounts without passwords. This vulnerability impacts any WooCommerce site running the affected plugin version, directly threatening customer account security and enabling fraud, data theft, and privilege escalation attacks.

Casky's 283 mapped security skills detect this vulnerability's attack patterns across MITRE ATT&CK techniques TA0004 (Privilege Escalation) and TA0006 (Credential Access). Practitioners using Casky would observe detection indicators including: token generation patterns lacking proper entropy or account binding in plugin logs, suspicious cart-recovery endpoint access from non-account-owner IP addresses, and authentication events preceded by cart-recovery token usage. Claude's extended reasoning capabilities correlate these signals to identify the underlying weakness—insufficient token validation—rather than treating isolated events as noise. Security teams would see findings flagging the specific CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) root cause alongside recommended mitigations like plugin updates, token cryptography verification, and disabling automatic-login features until patching is complete.
