The FOX - Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data loss due to a missing capability check on the 'admin_head' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to delete the entire multi-currency configuration by visiting any wp-admin page with the woocs_reset parameter appended. Additionally, because no nonce is verified, this is also exploitable via Cross-Site Request Forgery against any administrator. The vulnerability may also be exploited by Subscriber-level users if the site is configured to allow Subscriber access to 'wp-admin' pages.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access can delete entire multi-currency configurations in FOX Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce by visiting any wp-admin page with a specific parameter, and the lack of nonce verification allows CSRF-based exploitation against administrators. Confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV). CVSS 8.1 reflects high integrity and availability impact, with EPSS data unavailable. WordPress plugin affects versions ≤1.4.5, with patch released in version 1.4.6 per Wordfence advisory. The dual attack vectors (direct authenticated abuse and CSRF) significantly increase real-world risk for WooCommerce installations using this currency management plugin.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability stems from CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in the 'admin_head' hook handler within the FOX Currency Switcher Professional plugin's core class (woocs.php). The plugin fails to validate user capabilities before processing the 'woocs_reset' parameter, which triggers deletion of stored multi-currency settings from the WordPress database. The absence of WordPress nonce verification compounds the issue, allowing Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:realmag777:fox_-_currency_switcher_professional_for_woocommerce) identifies this as a third-party WooCommerce extension for managing currency conversion and display across e-commerce stores. The vulnerability exists in the admin_head function execution path, accessible to any authenticated user with wp-admin access, bypassing WordPress's standard capability checking mechanisms that should restrict administrative functions to appropriate user roles.
RemediationAI
Upgrade immediately to FOX Currency Switcher Professional version 1.4.6 or later, which implements proper capability checks and nonce verification per the patch committed in changeset 3483839 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3483839/). If immediate patching is not feasible, implement these compensating controls: (1) Restrict wp-admin access to only Administrator and Editor roles by removing Contributor/Subscriber wp-admin capabilities via role management plugins or custom code - this prevents direct exploitation but does not address CSRF risk; (2) Deploy Web Application Firewall rules to block requests containing the 'woocs_reset' parameter from non-administrator IP addresses - note this may break legitimate admin workflows and can be bypassed via CSRF; (3) Backup multi-currency configuration data before applying any mitigations to enable rapid restoration if data loss occurs. WARNING: Compensating controls provide incomplete protection against CSRF vectors and should be considered temporary measures only. The advisory from Wordfence is available at the threat intelligence URL listed above. Verify the installed version via WordPress admin panel under Plugins before and after upgrade to confirm successful patching.
