WordPress Automator Plugin Missing Authorization in AJAX Actions

The Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 7.3.2 via the automator_google_contacts_fetch_labels, automator_mautic_segment_fetch, automator_mautic_tags_fetch, and automator_mautic_render_contact_fields AJAX actions due to a missing capability check and missing nonce verification in the corresponding handlers (ajax_fetch_labels, segments_fetch, tags_fetch, and render_contact_fields). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to enumerate sensitive Google Contacts groups/labels and Mautic segments, tags, and contact-field definitions retrieved via integration credentials configured by an administrator, and to consume third-party API quota.

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 Uncanny Automator plugin for WordPress contains a critical authorization bypass vulnerability affecting versions up to 7.3.2. Four AJAX endpoints—automator_google_contacts_fetch_labels, automator_mautic_segment_fetch, automator_mautic_tags_fetch, and automator_mautic_render_contact_fields—lack both capability checks and nonce verification, allowing unauthenticated or low-privileged users to trigger sensitive operations. This vulnerability (CWE-862: Missing Authorization) affects any WordPress installation running the vulnerable plugin, putting customer data and workflow configurations at risk. An attacker can directly invoke these AJAX handlers to access contact labels, segment data, tags, and contact field information without proper permission validation.

Casky's platform identifies this vulnerability pattern through 283 mapped security skills that correlate MITRE ATT&CK Privilege Escalation (TA0004) and Credential Access (TA0006) techniques. When Claude AI analyzes WordPress traffic and plugin code with extended reasoning, practitioners would observe detection indicators including: unauthorized AJAX requests to automator-prefixed actions without valid nonces, successful data exfiltration from contacts and segments endpoints without admin credentials, and privilege escalation attempts exploiting missing capability checks (wp_verify_nonce and current_user_can failures). The framework flags the absence of security middleware in AJAX handlers, patterns of direct function calls without authentication gates, and suspicious access to sensitive business logic—all hallmarks of Missing Authorization attacks that precede lateral movement and data theft campaigns.
