| Impact | The risk profile reflects a moderate real-world threat with several mitigating factors. The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) indicates network accessibility, low attack complexity, and requirement for low-privilege authentication, with limited integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability impact—a classic authorization flaw. The low CVSS does not diminish severity because authorization bypasses often have asymmetric impact: while the CVSS captures only integrity degradation for wishlist data, the reputational and trust damage to e-commerce platforms can be substantial. Without access to EPSS, KEV status, or public POC availability data from external intelligence sources, the practical exploitability cannot be precisely quantified; however, authorization bugs in widely-used e-commerce plugins are frequently discovered and disclosed, suggesting moderate to high likelihood of exploitation by threat actors targeting WooCommerce installations. The authentication requirement (PR:L) reduces attack surface compared to unauthenticated vulnerabilities, as an attacker must first register or compromise a user account. This vulnerability should be prioritized for patching on public-facing e-commerce sites but does not constitute a critical emergency comparable to pre-auth remote code execution flaws. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a valid WooCommerce customer account (obtained through free registration or account compromise) sends an authenticated HTTP request to a wishlist management endpoint, directly modifying the user ID or wishlist ID parameter to target another customer's wishlist. Due to missing server-side authorization checks, the request succeeds, allowing the attacker to add/remove items from a target customer's wishlist or view their wishlist contents. The attack requires low complexity and no user interaction; the attacker can automate exploitation across multiple customer accounts to disrupt service or gather competitive intelligence on customer preferences. No public POC or KEV status data is presently available, but the straightforward nature of authorization bypass exploits means proof-of-concept code could be rapidly developed once the vulnerability details are disclosed. |

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.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
A missing authorization vulnerability exists in WPC Smart Wishlist for WooCommerce (versions up to 5.0.8) that allows authenticated users with low privileges to modify wishlist data they should not have access to due to incorrectly configured access control checks. An authenticated attacker can exploit this to manipulate wishlist entries belonging to other users or perform unauthorized modifications to shared wishlist data, resulting in integrity compromise. While the CVSS score is moderate (4.3) and requires prior authentication, the vulnerability represents a direct authorization bypass in a widely-deployed WooCommerce extension affecting e-commerce sites worldwide.
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.

Technical ContextAI · show details
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.
