What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

No fixed release is identified. Update GamiPress – Gamification plugin to reward points, achievements, badges & ranks in WordPress when a release after 7.9.4 becomes available; until then, disable and remove it when the site's risk warrants. The official upstream changelog lists version 7.9.9.5, which is newer than the published affected range. Its changelog does not clearly confirm this specific fix, so it is not counted as a known-safe release.

No confirmed safe version is listed. Consider a vendor-supported patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality while you assess the risk.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.

Source record

Technical description

The GamiPress – Gamification plugin to reward points, achievements, badges & ranks in WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 7.9.4 via the 'access' parameter due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to view private GamiPress activity log entries belonging to any user, including badge earnings, points balance changes, and event records from integrated plugins such as WooCommerce, LearnDash, and BuddyPress. This is exploitable by any unauthenticated visitor because the required 'gamipress' nonce is broadcast to all front-end users via wp_localize_script on the wp_enqueue_scripts hook, making the sole authentication barrier trivially bypassable.

CVE / CNA vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
