MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Command and Control, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires WooCommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin version 2.0.3.1 or earlier installed on WordPress site. Attacker uploads malicious file through plugin's upload functionality. AC:H suggests specific file type or configuration bypass needed; exact conditions unclear from description. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates a critical vulnerability exploitable over the network without authentication or user interaction, though with high attack complexity. The scope change (S:C) suggests the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component itself, potentially compromising the entire web server or other hosted applications. The high attack complexity likely reflects the need for specific conditions such as knowledge of upload endpoints or timing windows. Despite the 9.0 CVSS score, the practical risk depends heavily on whether the plugin is actively used in production environments and internet-accessible. The vulnerability was reported by Patchstack, a reputable WordPress security research firm, lending credibility to the finding. While no EPSS score or KEV status is provided, the combination of unauthenticated remote exploitation and potential for complete system compromise makes this a genuine priority for organizations running affected versions, particularly given the ease with which file upload vulnerabilities can be weaponized once the attack vector is understood. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a WordPress site running the vulnerable Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin by fingerprinting common plugin paths or forms. The attacker crafts a malicious request to the plugin's file upload functionality, bypassing client-side validation and uploading a PHP web shell disguised with a double extension or null byte injection technique. Once uploaded, the attacker directly accesses the malicious file through its web-accessible path, executing arbitrary PHP code with the privileges of the web server user, enabling full site compromise, database access, lateral movement to other hosted applications, or deployment of persistent backdoors and cryptocurrency miners. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 19, 2026
An unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists in the Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin for WordPress, allowing remote attackers to upload and execute malicious files without authentication. The vulnerability affects all versions through 2.0.3.1 of the plugin developed by Rymera Web Co Pty Ltd. With a CVSS score of 9.0 (Critical), this vulnerability enables attackers to achieve complete system compromise through arbitrary file upload, though the attack complexity is rated as high.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture to a version newer than 2.0.3.1 if available from the vendor Rymera Web Co Pty Ltd through the official WordPress plugin repository or vendor website. Consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/woocommerce-wholesale-lead-capture/vulnerability/wordpress-woocommerce-wholesale-lead-capture-plugin-1-17-8-arbitrary-file-upload-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for specific patch information and version recommendations. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider temporarily disabling the plugin until an update can be applied, particularly if the lead capture functionality is not business-critical. Implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to restrict file uploads to known safe extensions and enforce strict content-type validation. Review server logs for suspicious file upload attempts to endpoints associated with this plugin, and scan the WordPress uploads directory for recently added PHP, executable, or otherwise unexpected file types that may indicate prior exploitation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type), affecting the WordPress plugin identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:rymera_web_co_pty_ltd.:woocommerce_wholesale_lead_capture. The Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin is designed to capture and manage wholesale customer leads for WooCommerce stores. The vulnerability stems from inadequate validation of uploaded files, failing to properly restrict file types, extensions, or content before storing them on the server. This allows attackers to bypass intended security controls and upload executable files such as PHP scripts, which can then be accessed directly via web requests to gain code execution on the vulnerable WordPress installation.

Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type vulnerability in Rymera Web Co Pty Ltd. Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture allows Using Malicious Files.This issue affects Woocommerce Wholesale Lead Capture: from n/a through 2.0.3.1.
Executive ViewAI
A critical vulnerability in the WooCommerce Wholesale Lead Capture plugin allows unauthenticated attackers to upload and execute malicious code on affected WordPress sites, potentially leading to complete system compromise and data breach. Organizations using this plugin through version 2.0.3.1 face immediate risk of unauthorized access, data theft, and operational disruption.
Disable plugin immediately; implement WAF rules to block file uploads to plugin directories; restrict file execution permissions in the wp-content/uploads directory; enable WordPress security plugins with file integrity monitoring; implement strict network segmentation to limit WordPress server lateral movement; enforce IP whitelisting for administrator access; deploy endpoint detection and response (EDR) on connected systems; conduct daily malware scans until patch availability is confirmed.
