CVE-2025-12468
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe FunnelKit Automations – Email Marketing Automation and CRM for WordPress & WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.4.1 via the '/wc-coupons/' REST API endpoint. This is due to the endpoint being marked as a public API (`public_api = true`), which results in the endpoint being registered with `permission_callback => '__return_true'`, bypassing all authentication and capability checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data including all WooCommerce coupon codes, coupon IDs, and expiration status.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe FunnelKit Automations plugin for WordPress exposes a REST API endpoint at '/wc-coupons/' that is incorrectly configured with public_api = true, causing it to register with permission_callback => '__return_true'. This bypasses all authentication and capability checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve all WooCommerce coupon codes, coupon IDs, and expiration status.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify FunnelKit Automations plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Funnelkit Automations' or check the plugins directory for /wp-content/plugins/funnelkit-automations/Affected if The plugin is present on the WordPress site
-
Check the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin Plugins page, click on the plugin to view details, or inspect the main plugin file header in /wp-content/plugins/funnelkit-automations/ for the Version: fieldAffected if Version is less than 3.6.4.2 (vulnerable versions)
-
Test the vulnerable REST API endpointSend a GET request to /wp-json/funnelkit-automations/v1/wc-coupons/ or /wc-coupons/ without providing any authentication tokens or credentialsAffected if The endpoint returns HTTP 200 with coupon data (code, id, expiry) without requiring authentication
-
Verify if the endpoint is publicly accessibleInspect the plugin source code in /includes/rest/ directory for the wc-coupons endpoint registration; look for 'public_api' => true or 'permission_callback' => '__return_true'Affected if The endpoint is registered with public_api enabled or permission_callback set to '__return_true' allowing unauthenticated access
A site is affected if the FunnelKit Automations plugin version is below 3.6.4.2 AND the /wc-coupons/ REST endpoint returns coupon data without requiring authentication.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped3.6.4.2
Update the FunnelKit Automations plugin to version 3.6.5 or later which removes the public API flag from the coupon endpoint and implements proper authentication. Alternatively, disable the plugin until an update can be applied.
FunnelKit Automations version 3.6.4.2 or later
- Log in to the WordPress admin dashboard
- Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Find 'FunnelKit Automations' (or 'FunnelKit Automations – Email Marketing Automation and CRM for WordPress & WooCommerce')
- Check the current version number to confirm it is below 3.6.4.2
- If an update is available, click 'Update Now' to upgrade to the latest version
- Alternatively, navigate to Dashboard > Updates and select the FunnelKit Automations plugin to update
- After updating, verify the new version is 3.6.4.2 or higher
- Test that the /wc-coupons/ REST API endpoint now requires authentication (should return 401/403 for unauthenticated requests)
