Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the target WordPress site has the VillaTheme Salevo (woo-boost-sales) plugin installed and active at a version at or below 1.3.0, with the affected request-handling endpoint reachable over the network. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration are indicated, so default installations appear exploitable by remote attackers. The practical LIMITING factors are: the flaw yields only a partial integrity impact (I:L, with C:N/A:N), so there is no direct data disclosure or denial of service; the attacker must know or discover the specific immutable parameter accepted by the plugin; and the site must actually run this specific plugin, whose deployment footprint is limited.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity (CVSS 5.3) issue that is unlikely to be a top patching priority despite its unauthenticated network vector. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated reachability, but the impact is deliberately constrained to a partial integrity effect only (C:N/I:L/A:N), consistent with CWE-472 (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter) - an attacker can tamper with a parameter the application assumes is fixed, without directly reading data or affecting availability. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization; this reads as a real but low-urgency flaw rather than a high-impact one. CONFLICT TO NOTE: the input Tags label this 'Information Disclosure,' which implies a confidentiality impact, yet the CVSS vector sets C:N and scores only integrity (I:L); the Patchstack reference title instead calls it a 'broken access control' issue. These three framings do not fully agree - verify with Patchstack/vendor whether any data disclosure actually occurs, as the authoritative CVSS vector indicates integrity tampering only.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a WordPress site running the Salevo (woo-boost-sales) plugin, supplying a value for a web parameter the plugin assumes cannot be altered by the client. Because low attack complexity and no authentication are required, the attacker manipulates the application's logic or stored state to produce an outcome the operator did not intend. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 12, 2026

Unauthenticated remote attackers can supply their own values for web parameters that the VillaTheme Salevo (woo-boost-sales) WordPress plugin treats as immutable, letting them tamper with the data the plugin accepts and acts on in versions up through 1.3.0. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base score 5.3) confirms the request path needs no authentication, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration, but the impact is capped at a partial integrity loss with no confidentiality or availability effect. No public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS score was supplied, so this is a moderate-priority hardening item rather than an emergency patch, with real exposure confined to sites that actually run this specific plugin.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the provided data - the advisory reference documents the flaw against 1.3.0 but does not name a corrected release - so the first step is to check https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/woo-boost-sales/vulnerability/wordpress-salevo-plugin-1-3-0-broken-access-control-vulnerability and the plugin's WordPress.org page for an updated build, and upgrade as soon as a version above 1.3.0 is published. Because the flaw only exists while the plugin is active, the most reliable compensating control is to deactivate and delete woo-boost-sales if its sales-boost features are not essential; the trade-off is the loss of whatever storefront functionality it provides. If the plugin must stay enabled, restrict reachability of its request handlers so unauthenticated clients cannot submit the tampered parameter: add a WAF or reverse-proxy rule that rejects anonymous requests to the plugin's endpoint paths (or strips/overrides the assumed-immutable parameter), acknowledging that this may break legitimate anonymous-facing behavior and requires tuning to avoid false positives. Additionally, log and alert on unexpected parameter values reaching plugin endpoints to detect tampering attempts, and confirm that no other component on the site relies on client-supplied values for authorization decisions, since this weakness class is common across plugins of this type.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw is classified as CWE-472 (External Control of Assumed-Immutable Web Parameter) in a WordPress plugin. This weakness class arises when server-side code trusts a value that it assumes a client cannot change - classic examples being hidden form fields, order or status flags, price/quantity values, option keys, or nonce-like markers passed in a request - and then uses that value without re-validating it against server-side state. Because the parameter is treated as fixed, the application performs no authorization or integrity check on it, so any client can set it via a crafted HTTP request. The affected code lives in the woo-boost-sales plugin published by VillaTheme, tracked in the CPE as cpe:2.3:a:villatheme:salevo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (a wildcard covering all listed versions up to and including 1.3.0). The CVSS vector places the vulnerability entirely in the integrity dimension (I:L) with C:N and A:N, meaning the tampering can alter plugin-managed data but does not expose stored information or degrade availability; the Patchstack advisory labels it 'broken access control' and the intelligence tags include 'Information Disclosure', but the scored vector does not include any confidentiality impact, so those labels should not be read as evidence of data exposure. The plugin runs inside the WordPress application stack, so any reachable request handler for the affected endpoints is exposed to the same network as the site itself.
