MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The affected component is the VillaTheme 'Email Template Customizer for WooCommerce' plugin, versions up to and including 1.3.4, which necessarily requires a WordPress site running WooCommerce with this plugin installed and active. The supplied CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-reachable exploitation with no user interaction and no stated privilege requirement, but the exact vulnerable feature, endpoint, or template-processing setting is NOT described in the available data and could not be confirmed from the vendor advisory. LIMITING FACTORS: exposure is confined to sites running this specific plugin (not WooCommerce generally); the documented impact is confidentiality/content injection rather than code execution; and the PR:N (unauthenticated) assertion is unverified - this plugin class commonly gates such functionality behind authentication, so a privilege prerequisite cannot be ruled out. |
| Impact | The input CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base 7.5) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated issue - but its impact profile (C:H, I:N, A:N) is internally inconsistent with the CWE-94 'Code Injection' classification and the 'RCE' tag: genuine code execution would normally yield integrity and/or availability impact, not confidentiality-only. The Patchstack reference URL titles this a 'content injection vulnerability,' which aligns far better with the C:H/I:N/A:N vector than with 'RCE.' This signals the RCE tag likely overstates real impact. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit (POC) were provided, so exploitation status is: no public exploit identified at time of analysis. There is no SSVC decision data. Net assessment: this reads as a real but moderate-priority WordPress plugin bug rather than an urgent RCE - the headline 'RCE' framing is not supported by the supplied CVSS impact metrics. Also note PR:N (unauthenticated) is asserted by the input vector but could not be independently verified against the vendor/Patchstack advisory, and WordPress plugin injection flaws of this class frequently require at least low-privileged authentication - verify with Patchstack before treating as fully unauthenticated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker reaches an exposed endpoint of the Email Template Customizer for WooCommerce plugin (version 1.3.4 or earlier) and submits crafted input that is improperly treated as code/markup, injecting attacker-controlled content into the rendered email template. Per the supplied vector this requires no user interaction and the dominant documented impact is disclosure of sensitive information (C:H), not full system takeover. No public proof-of-concept was provided in the intelligence set. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Code injection in the VillaTheme 'Email Template Customizer for WooCommerce' WordPress plugin, affecting versions up to and including 1.3.4, lets an attacker influence the content/code generated by the plugin's email template handling, carrying a high confidentiality impact (C:H) with low integrity impact in our assessment. The supplied advisory vector claims unauthenticated, no-interaction exploitation (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, 7.5), but our independent assessment revises this to PR:L (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N), meaning a privilege prerequisite cannot be ruled out and the unauthenticated claim is unverified. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV entry were identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS score was supplied; exposure is limited to WordPress sites running WooCommerce with this specific plugin active.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the provided data; the only version anchor is that 1.3.4 is the last affected release, which suggests the vendor may have addressed the issue in a subsequent version, so verify and apply the latest available release through the WordPress.org plugin update mechanism or the vendor's VillaTheme site before assuming remediation. If an updated build is not yet available or cannot be validated, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate and remove the plugin on sites that do not require its email customization features, accepting the trade-off that WooCommerce transactional emails revert to default templates. Where the plugin must remain active, restrict the attack surface by ensuring only trusted, authenticated administrators can access wp-admin and any plugin settings/preview screens, since our assessment assumes a privilege prerequisite (PR:L) even though the supplied vector claims PR:N; enforce least-privilege roles, and add a WAF rule set that blocks anomalous template/parameter payloads targeting the plugin's admin-ajax or REST routes, understanding that generic WAF rules provide imperfect coverage against injection in serialized or encoded inputs. Monitor the Patchstack advisory and the plugin changelog for a confirmed fixed version, and treat any installed copy remaining at 1.3.4 or below as exposed until then.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is a PHP-based WordPress plugin that renders and customizes transactional WooCommerce email templates. CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code) covers cases where user-influenced input reaches a code-generation or template-evaluation sink without adequate sanitization, allowing injected markup or code to be produced by the application. Notably, the classification signals are internally inconsistent: Patchstack tags the record as RCE and CWE-94, yet the advisory's own reference title describes a 'content injection' issue, and the supplied CVSS vector is confidentiality-only (C:H/I:N/A:N), which is not the impact profile normally produced by genuine remote code execution. Our assessment keeps the code-injection root cause while scoring integrity impact (I:L) and requiring privileges (PR:L), reflecting that the precise vulnerable endpoint, hook, or template-processing setting is not described in any available source and could not be confirmed from the vendor advisory. WooCommerce is required as a precursor because the plugin's template pipeline depends on it; no CPE strings were provided, so affected products must be identified by plugin slug and version range rather than formal CPE matching.

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Network-reachable, low-complexity; PR:L because plugin template-injection functionality typically requires at least low-privileged authentication; impact is primarily disclosure (C:H) with limited integrity from injected content, matching the 'content injection' framing.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in VillaTheme Email Template Customizer for WooCommerce email-template-customizer-for-woo allows Code Injection.This issue affects Email Template Customizer for WooCommerce: from n/a through 1.3.4.
Executive ViewAI
VillaTheme's Email Template Customizer for WooCommerce plugin (versions up to and including 1.3.4) has a code injection vulnerability with no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, creating potential exposure of sensitive email/template data on affected WordPress/WooCommerce sites. Because the plugin handles customer-facing email content, a compromise could leak confidential information and damage trust for organizations relying on WooCommerce. Leadership should prioritize discovery, interim controls, and vendor monitoring, especially given unresolved authentication requirements and the lack of an official fix.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include disabling or removing the plugin, restricting administrative access, deploying WAF/virtual patching, monitoring email template changes, and applying least privilege.

Attack Technique
Code injection occurs when an application accepts user input and passes it directly into a language interpreter or evaluator without proper sanitization.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
