## What is CVE-2024-9821?

CVE-2024-9821 is a high-severity vulnerability in guruteam Bot for Telegram on WooCommerce, published on 12 Oct 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The Bot for Telegram on WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure due to missing authorization checks on the 'stm_wpcfto_get_settings' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.7.  This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to view the Telegram Bot Token, a secret token used to control the bot, which can then be used to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they know the username, due to the Login with Telegram feature.

Weakness: CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor)
