Technical summary

The My Agile Privacy® – CMP, Cookie Consent & Privacy Tools plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.6. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action, allowing unauthenticated attackers to modify plugin settings including missing_cookie_shield, cookie_shield_running, cmode_v2_js_on_error, cmode_v2_js_error_code, and cmode_v2_js_error_motivation stored in the plugin's settings key. Defenders should prioritize verifying and updating the plugin to a fixed version, if available, and monitoring for unauthorized changes to plugin settings.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize verifying and updating the plugin to a fixed version, if available, and monitoring for unauthorized changes to plugin settings.

Recommended defensive actions

• Verify and update the plugin to a fixed version, if available
• Monitor for unauthorized changes to plugin settings
• Implement additional authorization checks for plugin actions
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up

Evidence notes
