Executive brief
A vulnerability in the Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress allows unauthorized individuals to gain access to customer accounts. The plugin, which helps online stores recover lost sales by emailing customers who left items in their carts, fails to properly secure the login links it generates. If the automatic-login feature is enabled, an attacker can create their own fraudulent links to log into the website as a legitimate customer, potentially exposing personal data and order history.
Technical details
The Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce plugin suffers from an authentication bypass vulnerability due to insufficient integrity protection and account binding of cart-recovery tokens. The tokens used in recovery links are malleable and not cryptographically tied to a specific user session or account. An unauthenticated remote attacker can forge these tokens to generate a valid recovery URL. When the 'automatic-login' configuration is enabled, accessing this forged URL allows the attacker to be automatically authenticated as the targeted user. This issue is resolved in version 6.8.2.
