CVE-2026-3567: RepairBuddy <= 4.1132 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Plugin Settings Modification via wc_rep_shop_settings_submission AJAX Action

The RepairBuddy – Repair Shop CRM & Booking Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access in all versions up to, and including, 4.1132. The plugin exposes two AJAX handlers that, when combined, allow any authenticated user to modify admin-level plugin settings. First, the wc_rb_get_fresh_nonce() function (registered via wp_ajax and wp_ajax_nopriv hooks) allows any user to generate a valid WordPress nonce for any arbitrary action name by simply providing the nonce_name parameter, with no capability checks. Second, the wc_rep_shop_settings_submission() function only verifies the nonce (wcrb_main_setting_nonce) but performs no current_user_can() capability check before updating 15+ plugin options via update_option(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to modify all plugin configuration settings including business name, email, logo, menu label, GDPR settings, and more by first minting a valid nonce via the wc_rb_get_fresh_nonce endpoint and then calling the settings submission handler.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2026-3567 lets low-privileged WordPress users change administrative settings in the RepairBuddy repair shop plugin. The likely business impact is unauthorized modification of shop identity, email, labels, logo, GDPR-related settings, and other plugin configuration. This is not described as remote code execution or data theft in the provided sources.

Executive priority

Prioritize within the normal vulnerability remediation cycle, faster for sites with open registration or many customer accounts. The issue can damage trust and operations by altering shop-facing configuration, but current sources do not indicate code execution, data exfiltration, or known active exploitation.

Technical view

RepairBuddy up to and including 4.1132 lacks authorization checks around settings modification. One AJAX handler can generate a nonce for arbitrary action names, and another accepts that nonce without checking user capabilities before updating multiple WordPress options. The issue is classified as CWE-862: Missing Authorization.

Likely exposure

Exposure applies to WordPress sites running RepairBuddy – Repair Shop CRM & Booking Plugin versions up to 4.1132, especially sites allowing subscriber-level accounts or public user registration. The source bundle has inconsistent privilege metadata: the narrative says authenticated subscriber+, while the CVSS vector states PR:N.

Exploitation context

The provided sources do not show active exploitation, and the CVE is not marked KEV. Exploitation requires access sufficient to interact with WordPress AJAX endpoints, according to the vulnerability description. The practical impact is unauthorized plugin settings changes rather than server takeover, based on available evidence.

Researcher notes

Focus review on capability checks around wc_rb_get_fresh_nonce() and wc_rep_shop_settings_submission(). The source bundle references WordPress Trac locations and a changeset, but does not clearly state a fixed release. Avoid assuming remediation status without confirming vendor repository history.

Mitigation direction

  • Check vendor and WordPress plugin repository guidance for a fixed version or official workaround.
  • Update RepairBuddy if a version newer than 4.1132 is available and confirmed fixed.
  • Limit or disable unnecessary subscriber-level registrations until remediated.
  • Review plugin settings for unauthorized changes after remediation.
  • Restrict administrative access and monitor WordPress user creation activity.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory WordPress sites using the RepairBuddy or computer-repair-shop plugin.
  • Confirm installed plugin versions and flag versions up to 4.1132.
  • Review whether public registration or low-privileged accounts are enabled.
  • Check RepairBuddy settings for unexpected business, email, logo, menu, or GDPR changes.
  • Review web and WordPress logs for unusual AJAX requests to plugin settings handlers.
