Exploitation Conditions

Remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit Rymera Web Co Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin versions up to 2.0.3.1 installed on WordPress. No victim interaction required. Requires plugin to be active on target WordPress installation.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates this is exploitable remotely over a network with low attack complexity, requires no privileges, and needs no user interaction, resulting in high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This combination makes it highly dangerous and likely automatable. The vulnerability allows complete privilege escalation from an unauthenticated state, potentially granting attackers full administrative control over WordPress installations. While EPSS scores and KEV status are not provided in the available intelligence, the technical characteristics (network-accessible, no authentication required, low complexity) suggest this vulnerability would be attractive to attackers and could be easily automated for mass exploitation. Sites running this plugin should treat this as a critical priority requiring immediate remediation, as the barrier to exploitation is extremely low and the potential impact is complete system compromise.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated remote attacker discovers a WordPress site running the vulnerable WooCommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin and directly accesses an unprotected administrative function endpoint through HTTP requests. By exploiting the incorrect privilege assignment, the attacker creates a new administrator account or elevates an existing low-privilege account to administrator status without any authentication. With administrative access achieved, the attacker can install malicious plugins, modify site content, steal customer data including payment information, deploy webshells for persistent access, or completely compromise the WordPress installation and potentially the underlying web server.

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 19, 2026

An incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability exists in the WooCommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin for WordPress, allowing unauthenticated attackers to escalate privileges on affected sites. All versions through 2.0.3.1 of the plugin developed by Rymera Web Co Pty Ltd. are vulnerable. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical) and network-based exploitation requiring no privileges or user interaction, this represents a severe security risk for WordPress sites using this plugin.

RemediationAI

Site administrators should immediately upgrade the WooCommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin to a patched version newer than 2.0.3.1 if available from the vendor or WordPress plugin repository. Consult the Patchstack database entry at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/woocommerce-wholesale-lead-capture/vulnerability/wordpress-woocommerce-wholesale-lead-capture-plugin-1-17-8-privilege-escalation-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for specific remediation guidance and patched version information. If a patch is not yet available or cannot be applied immediately, consider temporarily disabling the plugin and removing it from the WordPress installation until a fix is deployed, especially if the wholesale lead capture functionality is not business-critical. Additionally, implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to restrict access to the plugin's endpoints, monitor WordPress user creation and role modification activities, and conduct a security audit to verify no unauthorized privilege escalation has already occurred.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability affects the WooCommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin (cpe:2.3:a:rymera_web_co_pty_ltd.:woocommerce_wholesale_lead_capture), a WordPress plugin used to capture wholesale lead information for WooCommerce stores. The root cause is classified under CWE-266 (Incorrect Privilege Assignment), which occurs when software does not properly restrict or incorrectly assigns privileges to actors, allowing them to perform actions they should not be authorized to execute. In WordPress plugins, this typically manifests as insufficient capability checks on administrative functions, allowing lower-privileged or unauthenticated users to execute privileged operations such as user role modification, settings changes, or data manipulation.

DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in Rymera Web Co Pty Ltd. Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture: from n/a through 2.0.3.1.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

All WordPress sites running the WooCommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin (versions through 2.0.3.1) face critical risk of unauthorized admin account creation by unauthenticated attackers. This vulnerability enables complete site compromise without requiring any user credentials or interaction, posing immediate threat to data integrity, customer information, and business operations.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Immediately deactivate the plugin as primary mitigation. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block unauthenticated privilege escalation attempts targeting WordPress user creation endpoints. Restrict WordPress admin panel access via network controls (IP whitelisting, VPN requirement). Enable WordPress security hardening: disable user registration, enforce multi-factor authentication on all admin accounts, implement security logging and alerting on user creation events. Monitor all admin accounts for suspicious activity. Restrict plugin functionality at the database permission level if partial operation is required.
