Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Network-reachable WordPress endpoint with low complexity; Patchstack scopes it to Subscriber role so PR:L not PR:N; arbitrary file read yields C:H, no write or DoS so I:N/A:N.

Subscriber Arbitrary File Download in Woocommerce Book Price <= 1.3 versions.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary file download in the WooCommerce Book Price WordPress plugin (versions 1.3 and earlier) allows remote attackers to retrieve arbitrary files from the underlying server filesystem via path traversal. The CVSS vector indicates network-reachable exploitation without authentication or user interaction, yielding high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effects. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the WooCommerce Book Price plugin published by wpos (CPE cpe:2.3:a:wpos:woocommerce_book_price), a WordPress extension that adds book-pricing functionality to WooCommerce stores. The root-cause class is CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory, i.e. path traversal): a file-download handler exposed by the plugin almost certainly accepts a user-controlled file path or filename parameter and concatenates it into a filesystem read without canonicalising the path or constraining it to an allow-listed directory. Although the CVSS vector indicates PR:N, Patchstack categorises this as a 'Subscriber' issue, implying the vulnerable endpoint is reachable via an authenticated WordPress nonce/AJAX action available to the lowest-privilege role - a discrepancy worth verifying against the Patchstack advisory.
RemediationAI
Upstream fix available per Patchstack advisory; a released patched version is not independently confirmed from the supplied references, so administrators should consult the Patchstack entry at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/woo-book-price/vulnerability/wordpress-woocommerce-book-price-plugin-1-3-arbitrary-file-download-vulnerability and upgrade to any release strictly newer than 1.3 once published by the wpos vendor. Until a fixed plugin version is verified, deactivate and remove the WooCommerce Book Price plugin entirely (this disables book-price display on storefronts) or, if it must remain active, block the plugin's file-download AJAX action and admin-ajax handlers at a WAF (ModSecurity / Wordfence / Patchstack mU-plugin) by denying requests whose parameters contain '../' or absolute paths, and tighten WordPress registration so untrusted users cannot self-provision Subscriber accounts that reach the vulnerable endpoint. Restrict filesystem permissions so the web user cannot read wp-config.php or /etc/passwd to limit exfiltration impact, accepting that this hardens defence in depth but does not close the underlying flaw.
