Technical details

The WPCafe plugin for WordPress (versions up to 3.0.14) contains a missing authorization check (CWE-862) in its REST API endpoints for notification flow management. While the endpoints implement a wp_rest nonce check, this nonce is accessible to any logged-in user via the frontend page source. Consequently, authenticated attackers with subscriber-level permissions can bypass intended restrictions to list, create, update, delete, or clone notification workflows. The vulnerability is rooted in the FlowAPI.php and email-notification.php components which fail to verify administrative capabilities before executing sensitive actions.
