Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin

The Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the fr_token function in all versions up to, and including, 7.3.1.4. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). Exploitation requires a Forminator form connected to an Uncanny Automator recipe configured for 'Everyone', allowing unauthenticated form submissions to supply the malicious serialized payload; a gadget chain is present within the plugin via the Action_Helpers_Email __destruct() method, meaning no external gadget library is required.

The Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 7.0.0.3 via the download_url() function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to make web requests to arbitrary locations originating from the web application and can be used to query and modify information from internal services. Additionally, the plugin stores the contents of the remote files on the server, which can be leveraged to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

The Uncanny Automator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 6.4.0.1 via deserialization of untrusted input in the automator_api_decode_message() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated to inject a PHP Object. The additional presence of a POP chain allows attackers to delete arbitrary files.

The Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.0.2. This is due to add_role() and user_role() functions missing proper capability checks performed through the validate_rest_call() function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to set the role of arbitrary users to administrator granting full access to the site, though privilege escalation requires an active account on the site so this is considered an authenticated privilege escalation.
