Missing Authorization vulnerability in WPClever WPC Smart Wishlist for WooCommerce woo-smart-wishlist allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects WPC Smart Wishlist for WooCommerce: from n/a through <= 5.0.8.
AnalysisAI
Improper access control in WPC Smart Wishlist for WooCommerce through version 5.0.8 permits authenticated users to modify wishlist data they should not have authorization to access. An attacker with valid WordPress credentials could exploit misconfigured permission checks to alter or manipulate wishlist information belonging to other users.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), which indicates that the application fails to properly validate whether an authenticated user has the requisite permissions to perform specific actions on protected resources. WPC Smart Wishlist for WooCommerce (identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:wpclever:wpc_smart_wishlist) is a WordPress plugin that manages customer wishlists in WooCommerce environments. The plugin accepts requests from authenticated users but does not adequately enforce role-based or user-level authorization checks on wishlist management endpoints, allowing an attacker with valid WooCommerce account credentials (such as a customer account) to access or modify wishlist objects belonging to other users. The vulnerability stems from insufficient server-side authorization logic that relies on client-side controls or inadequate parameter validation rather than cryptographic or capability-based access enforcement.
RemediationAI
Upgrade WPC Smart Wishlist for WooCommerce to version 5.0.9 or later, which patches the authorization vulnerability. To perform the upgrade, log into the WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate WPC Smart Wishlist for WooCommerce, and click Update if available; alternatively, download the patched version directly from the official WordPress.org plugin repository. For sites unable to upgrade immediately, consider temporarily disabling the wishlist feature at the WordPress admin level, restricting WooCommerce access to trusted users only via IP whitelisting, or implementing a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to monitor and block suspicious wishlist API requests that exhibit cross-user access patterns. Verify the patch in a staging environment before deploying to production. After patching, audit wishlist tables in the WordPress database for unauthorized modifications made during the window of exposure to assess if customer data was compromised.
