| Exploitation Conditions | No authentication is required - the attack targets the unauthenticated checkout flow (CVSS PR:N). The sole prerequisite is that the target WooCommerce store has the Advanced Product Fields plugin installed and active with at least one paid addon configured (i.e., a custom field carrying a non-zero price surcharge). The vulnerability is in the server-side cart validation function, meaning client-side enforcement alone was presumably already insufficient; exploitation requires the attacker to submit a crafted HTTP request to the checkout/cart endpoint with addon pricing data removed or zeroed. Exploitation is limited to stores running plugin versions 1.6.21 or earlier; stores with no paid addons configured are unaffected in practice since there is no price differential to exploit. No specific platform, server configuration, or privileged access is required beyond a publicly accessible WooCommerce checkout. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N correctly captures the threat profile: the attack requires no authentication, no special network position, and no user interaction, making it trivially automatable against any publicly accessible WooCommerce storefront running this plugin. The Integrity:High rating reflects direct financial harm to merchants - revenue loss per bypassed transaction could be significant depending on addon pricing. No EPSS score was supplied in the input data, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified; however, the AC:L/PR:N combination suggests exploitation is accessible to low-sophistication actors. No KEV listing and no confirmed public POC lower immediate urgency somewhat, but the vulnerability class (cart price manipulation) is well understood by fraud actors targeting e-commerce platforms, and the partial patch history (1.6.19 attempted a fix but failed) indicates the vendor was aware and struggled to close it. The realistic priority for WooCommerce store operators is high: financial losses are direct and per-transaction, and the attack surface is the public-facing checkout flow. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker visits a WooCommerce store with paid product addons (e.g., custom engraving at $25 extra) and adds the item to their cart normally. They then craft a modified POST request to the checkout endpoint, manipulating the cart item meta to omit or zero out the addon pricing fields before submission. The flawed |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 22, 2026
Price integrity bypass in the Advanced Product Fields (Product Addons) for WooCommerce plugin allows unauthenticated shoppers to complete purchases at the base product price while receiving paid addons without charge, effectively constituting theft of digital or physical goods from merchants. Versions up to and including 1.6.21 are affected due to a logic flaw in the cart validation function; a partial patch was shipped in 1.6.19 but did not fully close the exposure. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis, though the low exploitation complexity makes opportunistic abuse straightforward.
RemediationAI
Store operators should update the Advanced Product Fields (Product Addons) for WooCommerce plugin immediately to a version beyond 1.6.21, as that is the last confirmed vulnerable release; operators should verify with the vendor or the WordPress plugin repository that the installed version incorporates both changesets 3477476 and 3483410, which represent the two-stage fix effort. If an update is not immediately possible, a compensating control is to disable any paid addon configurations within the plugin's admin settings, reducing the attack surface to zero-cost fields only - note this may degrade store functionality by removing premium addon options. Alternatively, a WAF rule blocking unexpected modifications to cart item meta fields (e.g., addon price parameters) at the HTTP layer can reduce automated exploitation, though this requires tuning to avoid false positives on legitimate checkout flows. Monitor order history for anomalous purchases where addon items appear in orders but the total matches the base product price only.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the WordPress plugin 'Advanced Product Fields (Product Addons) for WooCommerce' by Maarten Belmans (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:maartenbelmans:advanced_product_fields_(product_addons)_for_woocommerce:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The plugin augments WooCommerce product pages with configurable custom fields - including paid add-ons that carry a price surcharge applied at checkout. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation): the validate_cart_data function in includes/controllers/class-product-controller.php (line 130 per the Wordfence reference) applies flawed logic when reconciling submitted cart data against addon pricing rules, allowing a client-side or request-level bypass of the server-side price enforcement. WooCommerce itself is not vulnerable; the flaw is entirely within the plugin's own validation layer.

DescriptionCVE.org
The Advanced Product Fields (Product Addons) for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Improper Input Validation in all versions up to, and including, 1.6.21. This is due to a logic flaw in the 'validate_cart_data' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass required paid addons and complete purchases at the base product price only, effectively stealing products by paying a fraction of the intended total. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 1.6.19.
Executive ViewAI
The Advanced Product Fields (Product Addons) plugin for WooCommerce (versions ≤1.6.21) contains a price integrity bypass that allows unauthenticated customers to complete purchases at base product prices while receiving paid add-ons at no cost, resulting in direct revenue loss for affected merchants. Organizations running this plugin face inventory depletion and revenue impact until remediation is deployed.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable product addons feature in WooCommerce until vendor patch is available; (2) Implement server-side price validation independent of client cart data; (3) Restrict add-on purchases to authenticated users only; (4) Implement transaction review workflows flagging orders with high add-on value relative to base product; (5) Monitor for suspicious patterns in add-on redemption rates.
