Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in martinnguyen1990 Next-Cart Store To WooCommerce Migration Plugin up to 3.9.8. Affected by this issue is the function NCWM_Kitconnect::run of the file /wp-json/next_cart/v1/migration of the component Migration Endpoint. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a improper authentication vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-287. When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

The Next-Cart Store to WooCommerce Migration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.8 via the `NCWM_Kitconnect::run()` function. This is due to the plugin registering the `/wp-json/next_cart/v1/migration` REST route with `permission_callback` set to `__return_true` and relying on a hardcoded fallback value of `__token__` in `get_option('nextcart_token', '__token__')` when the `nextcart_token` option has not yet been written to the database. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication to the migration endpoint by supplying the literal string `__token__` as the token, gaining access to privileged handlers that pass attacker-controlled SQL directly to `$wpdb->query()` and `$wpdb->get_results()` — enabling arbitrary SQL execution including administrator account creation — and pass an attacker-controlled path to `unlink()`, enabling arbitrary file deletion and full site takeover. The hardcoded fallback is reachable whenever the `nextcart_token` option has not yet been populated, which occurs after WP-CLI, network, or programmatic plugin activation without a subsequent authenticated `wp-admin` visit, as token generation is deferred to `admin_init` via `register_settings()`.

The advisory is available at wordfence.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-76009 since 08/18/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/09/2026).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
