CVE-2025-11986
Crypto Tool <= 2.22 - Unauthenticated Information Exposure via Global Authentication State
Description
The Crypto plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Information exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.22. This is due to the plugin registering an unauthenticated AJAX action (wp_ajax_nopriv_crypto_connect_ajax_process) that allows calling the register and savenft methods with only a publicly-available nonce check and no wallet signature verification. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to set a site-wide global authentication state via a single transient, bypassing all access controls for ALL visitors to the site. The impact is complete bypass of [crypto-block] shortcode restrictions and page-level access controls, affecting all site visitors for one hour, plus the ability to inject arbitrary data into the plugin's custom_users table.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: Crypto Tool de odude, Description: El plugin Crypto para WordPress es vulnerable a la exposición de información en todas las versiones hasta la 2.22, inclusive. Esto se debe a que el plugin registra una acción AJAX no autenticada (wp_ajax_nopriv_crypto_connect_ajax_process) que permite llamar a los métodos register y savenft con solo una verificación de nonce disponible públicamente y sin verificación de firma de monedero. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados establezcan un estado de autenticación global para todo el sitio a través de un único transient, eludiendo todos los controles de acceso para TODOS los visitantes del sitio. El impacto es el bypass completo de las restricciones del shortcode [crypto-block] y los controles de acceso a nivel de página, afectando a todos los visitantes del sitio durante una hora, además de la capacidad de inyectar datos arbitrarios en la tabla custom_users del plugin. -
