Technical details

The PDFDraft plugin for WordPress (versions up to 1.1.0) contains a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) within the serveTemplatePdfAjax() function and the serveTemplatePdf() REST route. The REST route is improperly configured with 'permission_callback => __return_true', effectively disabling access control. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending requests to the 'pdfdraft_embed_pdf' admin-ajax action or the '/wp-json/pdfdraft/v1/embed-pdf/templates/{slug}/pdf' REST endpoint. By providing a known or guessable design slug, the attacker can bypass intended security restrictions to download PDF templates that may contain sensitive PII, invoices, and certificates.

Affected products
