|
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires authenticated WordPress user with Vendor-level access or higher to WCFM plugin. Attacker exploits AJAX actions (wcfm_modify_order_status, delete_wcfm_article, delete_wcfm_product) in plugin versions up to 6.7.25 by supplying arbitrary object IDs to modify/delete orders and posts across all vendors. |
| Impact | The CVSS 8.1 HIGH rating reflects network-based exploitation (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N), requiring only low-privileged vendor credentials (PR:L). High integrity and availability impact (I:H/A:H) accurately captures the ability to alter order statuses marketplace-wide and delete critical content, potentially causing business disruption and data loss. However, real-world risk depends heavily on deployment context: WooCommerce stores using WCFM with multiple vendor accounts face elevated exposure, as any compromised or malicious vendor can sabotage competitors' products, manipulate financial transactions, or delete store pages. The authentication requirement (PR:L) reduces surface area compared to unauthenticated flaws, but vendor registration is often self-service in marketplace implementations. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though IDOR vulnerabilities are trivially exploitable once endpoint details are known-expect rapid weaponization post-disclosure. Without EPSS data or KEV listing, prioritization should focus on stores with untrusted vendor populations or those processing high transaction volumes where order manipulation poses financial/reputational harm. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A malicious actor registers a vendor account on a WooCommerce marketplace running vulnerable WCFM plugin versions, gaining legitimate low-privileged credentials through standard self-service onboarding. Using browser developer tools or intercepting proxy, the attacker crafts POST requests to the wcfm_modify_order_status AJAX endpoint, iterating through sequential order IDs to change high-value orders to 'cancelled' status, disrupting competitor sales and creating customer service chaos. Simultaneously, they invoke delete_wcfm_product with enumerated product IDs belonging to rival vendors, purging their catalog entries and causing immediate revenue loss. The attack requires only knowledge of WordPress AJAX endpoint conventions and minimal technical sophistication, with exploitation complexity rated low (AC:L) as no cryptographic bypass or race conditions are necessary-simple parameter manipulation achieves unauthorized access to global store resources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 04, 2026
Insecure Direct Object Reference in WCFM Frontend Manager for WooCommerce (versions ≤6.7.25) allows authenticated vendors to manipulate arbitrary orders and delete any WordPress posts, products, or pages beyond their ownership scope. Exploitation requires only vendor-level credentials (PR:L) with no user interaction, enabling privilege escalation through unauthorized access to store-wide content. EPSS data not available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the vulnerability's straightforward IDOR nature increases weaponization risk once details are public.
RemediationAI
Upgrade WCFM Frontend Manager for WooCommerce to version 6.7.26 or later, which addresses the IDOR vulnerabilities through implementation of proper authorization checks on AJAX endpoints processing user-supplied object IDs. Site administrators should audit existing vendor accounts for suspicious activity, reviewing order status modification logs and checking for unexpected post/product deletions that may indicate prior exploitation. As an interim mitigation if immediate patching is infeasible, restrict vendor account creation to trusted users and implement additional monitoring on the identified AJAX actions (wcfm_modify_order_status, delete_wcfm_article, delete_wcfm_product) through WordPress security logging plugins. Consult the Wordfence advisory at https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/f8248098-dff2-4bac-a138-aa40c7ab7a1c for additional context. For development teams, review the patched code paths in versions post-6.7.25 available via WordPress plugin repository to understand the corrected authorization logic pattern for user-controlled resource identifiers.

Technical ContextAI · show details
WCFM Frontend Manager (wclovers:wcfm_-_frontend_manager_for_woocommerce) is a WordPress plugin enabling multi-vendor marketplace functionality for WooCommerce stores. The vulnerability stems from CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key), where multiple AJAX endpoints-including wcfm_modify_order_status, delete_wcfm_article, delete_wcfm_product, and the article management controller-accept user-supplied object IDs without validating ownership or authorization boundaries. Per Wordfence source code analysis, these endpoints process resource identifiers directly from request parameters without cross-referencing the requesting user's permissions against the target object's ownership metadata. This violates the principle of complete mediation, allowing low-privileged vendor accounts to reference and manipulate global WordPress post IDs, WooCommerce order IDs, and product IDs that should be restricted to administrators or their actual owners.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The WCFM - Frontend Manager for WooCommerce along with Bookings Subscription Listings Compatible plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 6.7.25 via multiple AJAX actions including wcfm_modify_order_status, delete_wcfm_article, delete_wcfm_product, and the article management controller due to missing validation on user-supplied object IDs. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Vendor-level access and above, to modify the status of any order, delete or modify any post/product/page, regardless of ownership.
Articles & Coverage 1
Executive ViewAI
WCFM Frontend Manager for WooCommerce versions 6.7.25 and earlier contain an insecure direct object reference vulnerability that permits authenticated vendors to manipulate orders and delete arbitrary site content (posts, products, pages) regardless of ownership. This privilege escalation risk exposes store operations to data loss, inventory disruption, and competitive sabotage by malicious insiders or compromised vendor accounts, requiring immediate action for any organization using this plugin.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict WCFM vendor roles to read-only access where operationally feasible; (2) implement WordPress role-based access control (RBAC) to limit vendor capabilities at the application level; (3) enable comprehensive audit logging of vendor account actions (order modifications, post/product deletions); (4) enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all vendor accounts to reduce compromise risk; (5) consider disabling the plugin entirely on non-critical sites until a patch is released; (6) monitor vendor user sessions and implement IP whitelisting if vendor operations are geographically confined.
