Is Project Manager safe? Known vulnerabilities and latest version

The Project Manager – AI Powered Project Management, Task Management, Kanban Board & Time Tracker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to, and including, 4.1.1 via the 'id' parameter parameter. This is due to unsanitized 'id' parameter value concatenated directly into the pipe-delimited validation rule string, which is then split and each token invoked as a dynamic PHP function with no allowlist check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server. This is exploitable by unauthenticated attackers because WordPress core executes the route argument's validate_callback inside WP_REST_Server::dispatch() before the route's permission_callback is invoked, meaning the Project_Manage_Capability authorization gate is never reached on the vulnerable code path.

Subscriber Broken Access Control in WP Project Manager <= 4.0.7 versions.

The Project Manager WordPress plugin before 4.0.7 does not restrict several of its REST API routes to the projects a user belongs to, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to read other projects' task content and user email addresses and to modify other projects' task boards.

The Project Manager WordPress plugin before 4.0.7 does not check that the user whose activity is being requested is the one making the request in one of its REST API routes, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to read any other user's activity history along with their email address and the details of projects they have no access to.

The Project Manager WordPress plugin before 4.0.7 does not have any authorisation check on its import routes, allowing unauthenticated users to create WordPress accounts with a password the attacker already knows, bypassing the site's own registration setting.

Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection in WP Project Manager <= 4.0.6 versions.

The WP Project Manager – Task, team, and project management plugin featuring kanban board and gantt charts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘orderby’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.17 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

The WP Project Manager – Task, team, and project management plugin featuring kanban board and gantt charts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized loss of data due to a missing capability check in the '/pm/v2/settings/notice' endpoint all versions up to, and including, 2.6.17. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to cause a persistent denial of service condition.

The WP Project Manager – Task, team, and project management plugin featuring kanban board and gantt charts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'project_id' parameter of the /wp-json/pm/v2/projects/2/task-lists REST API endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.16 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, who have been granted access to a project, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.

The WP Project Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.15 via the Project Task List ('/wp-json/pm/v2/projects/1/task-lists') REST API endpoint.

Missing Authorization vulnerability in weDevs WP Project Manager wedevs-project-manager allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WP Project Manager: from n/a through <= 2.6.7.

The WP Project Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check in the 'check' method of the 'Create_Milestone', 'Create_Task_List', 'Create_Task', and 'Delete_Task' classes in version 2.6.14.
