Awesome Support – Wordpress Helpdesk & Support Plugin

The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'wpas_files' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This vulnerability is only exploitable when the "Enable drag-n-drop uploader for ticket form" setting is enabled, as it is disabled by default.

The Awesome Support plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in versions up to, and including, 6.3.9. This is due to a missing capability check on the wpas_do_mr_deny_user() function, which unlike its counterpart wpas_do_mr_activate_user() does not enforce current_user_can('edit_users') or current_user_can('edit_user', $user_id), relying solely on a nonce that is not scoped to the target user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to set the mr_user_denied flag on any user account — including administrators — permanently blocking their moderated activation and dispatching a denial notification email to the victim.

The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 6.3.7. This is due to the wpas_get_ticket_replies_ajax() function failing to verify whether the authenticated user has permission to view the specific ticket being requested. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to access sensitive information from all support tickets in the system by manipulating the ticket_id parameter.

The Awesome Support - WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.6. This is due to the 'wpas_do_mr_activate_user' function not verifying that a user has permission to modify other users' roles, combined with a nonce reuse vulnerability where public registration nonces are valid for privileged actions because all actions share the same nonce namespace. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to demote administrators to low-privilege roles via the 'wpas-do=mr_activate_user' action with a user-controlled 'user_id' parameter, granted they can access the publicly available registration/submit ticket page to extract a valid nonce.

The Awesome Support – WordPress HelpDesk & Support Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.1 via the 'awesome-support' directory. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data stored insecurely in the /wp-content/uploads/awesome-support directory which can contain file attachments included in support tickets. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 6.3.1.
