MITRE ATT&CK

1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Two conditions must both be true: (1) StoreGrowth plugin version prior to 2.1.2 must be installed and active on the WordPress site; (2) the BOGO (Buy One Get One) offer feature must be explicitly enabled in the plugin's settings - this is the critical gating condition, as the two vulnerable unauthenticated AJAX actions are only registered when this feature is active. No authentication is required per CVSS PR:N - exploitation is available to any unauthenticated network attacker who can reach the site's wp-admin/admin-ajax.php endpoint. Exploitation is limited to stores where a site operator has deliberately configured and activated the BOGO promotional feature; installations with StoreGrowth present but BOGO disabled are not exposed to this attack path.

Impact

The CVSS 7.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) accurately captures that this is a remotely exploitable, unauthenticated integrity violation - the high integrity score reflects the ability to directly corrupt transaction pricing. However, real-world exploitation risk is substantially gated by the BOGO feature requirement: only WooCommerce stores that have deliberately enabled StoreGrowth's BOGO promotional functionality are exposed, which narrows the exploitable population considerably. EPSS at 0.18% (8th percentile) is low, indicating minimal observed or predicted exploit activity, consistent with SSVC's exploitation rating of 'none.' The SSVC 'automatable: yes' flag is the primary escalating signal - scripted mass reconnaissance of WordPress sites for this plugin and feature combination is technically feasible, meaning a motivated opportunistic actor could target a broad set of stores efficiently. The harm model is purely financial (integrity impact only; no confidentiality or availability loss), and no KEV listing or public POC exists. Priority should reflect that vulnerable stores face direct revenue loss, but the feature gate meaningfully limits exposed surface area compared to the raw CVSS score implies.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker discovers a WooCommerce store running StoreGrowth with the BOGO feature enabled - detectable via plugin fingerprinting or version disclosure - and sends crafted HTTP POST requests to the plugin's unauthenticated AJAX endpoints, substituting a near-zero or zero price value for the targeted product. WooCommerce accepts the manipulated price into the cart session without server-side reconciliation, allowing the attacker to complete checkout and acquire goods at the attacker-defined price. No public POC has been identified, but the HTTP-based attack pattern is straightforward and scriptable against identified targets.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 27, 2026

Price manipulation in the StoreGrowth WordPress plugin (versions before 2.1.2) enables unauthenticated attackers to add products to a WooCommerce cart at arbitrary, attacker-chosen prices that carry through to checkout totals - directly enabling financial fraud against affected merchants. The flaw exists across two unauthenticated AJAX actions that accept browser-supplied price values without any server-side validation, and is conditional on the BOGO (Buy One Get One) promotional feature being active. No public exploit code has been identified, and EPSS is low at 0.18% (8th percentile), though SSVC rates the attack as automatable - making mass scanning of vulnerable stores feasible.

RemediationAI

Upgrade StoreGrowth to version 2.1.2 or later, which resolves the missing server-side price validation on the affected unauthenticated AJAX actions; this fix is confirmed available from the vendor per WPScan (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/15d1a53b-c5f3-4509-9889-ddc48507df35/) and NVD records. If an immediate upgrade cannot be applied, disabling the BOGO offer feature in the StoreGrowth plugin settings removes both vulnerable AJAX action handlers from the attack surface entirely - this is an effective and targeted compensating control with the trade-off of losing BOGO promotional functionality until the patch is applied. Store operators should additionally audit recent order history for transactions where product prices are anomalously low or zero, as these may indicate prior exploitation. No other workarounds are documented in available source data.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-862 (Missing Authorization / Missing Server-side Validation) within StoreGrowth's BOGO promotional offer implementation. WordPress plugins commonly expose unauthenticated front-end AJAX handlers via the wp_ajax_nopriv_* hook family; when these handlers accept client-supplied values such as product prices without reconciling them against server-side pricing data, attackers can inject arbitrary values that WooCommerce treats as authoritative. In this case, two such AJAX actions fail to validate the submitted price against the actual product price stored in the database, allowing the WooCommerce cart session to be seeded with a manipulated figure that propagates intact through the checkout pipeline. Affected product: StoreGrowth plugin for WordPress, all versions prior to 2.1.2 (no CPE string was provided in the source data; version range derived from EUVD and WPScan records). Vulnerability disclosed by WPScan (contact@wpscan.com).

DescriptionCVE.org

The StoreGrowth WordPress plugin before 2.1.2 does not validate a browser-supplied product price on two of its unauthenticated actions, allowing unauthenticated attackers to add a product to the cart at an arbitrary, attacker-chosen price that carries through to the checkout total when the BOGO offer feature is enabled.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

StoreGrowth WordPress plugin versions before 2.1.2 contain an unauthenticated price manipulation flaw that allows attackers to checkout WooCommerce orders at attacker-chosen prices, directly enabling revenue fraud against affected merchants. This vulnerability affects any store running the plugin with the BOGO promotional feature enabled and requires immediate patching, as the attack is automatable across multiple targets with no special privileges needed.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch: upgrade StoreGrowth plugin to version 2.1.2. Interim mitigation: disable the BOGO promotional feature until patch deployment is complete on all affected stores.
