| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against any WordPress site running YITH WooCommerce Wishlist before 4.18.1 that has at least one wishlist created. The attacker must supply a valid wishlist identifier; these IDs may be exposed in share URLs, page source, or discoverable via enumeration. No authentication, no elevated privileges, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are required. Limiting factors: impact is confined to renaming wishlist names only; an attacker with no knowledge of existing wishlist IDs cannot exploit the flaw blindly without a discovery step. |
| Impact | CVSS 5.3 Medium (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) accurately characterizes the constrained impact: the flaw is trivially automatable and requires no credentials or user interaction, yet the blast radius is limited strictly to wishlist name integrity. An attacker cannot exfiltrate data, execute code, delete wishlists, or disrupt site availability through this vector alone. The existence of a publicly available WPScan POC lowers the skill threshold to near zero, making mass-scanning and automated opportunistic exploitation plausible. However, the absence of a CISA KEV listing and the low-severity real-world consequence (reputational nuisance / customer confusion rather than data breach) keep this firmly in the 'patch promptly, not urgently' category. EPSS data was not provided. No conflicting signals: CVSS vector and description are fully consistent. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker visits a WooCommerce storefront, browses public wishlist pages or product pages to extract wishlist IDs exposed in page source or share URLs, then issues HTTP requests to the rename endpoint with arbitrary target names - no credentials required. Using the publicly available WPScan POC, the attacker could automate mass-renaming of all customer wishlists to offensive or misleading strings, degrading the shopping experience and the store's reputation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 11, 2026
Missing authorization on the wishlist rename endpoint in YITH WooCommerce Wishlist (WordPress plugin before 4.18.1) permits any unauthenticated network attacker to rename any customer wishlist sitewide by supplying a target wishlist identifier. The flaw is rooted in CWE-639 - the plugin never verifies that the requesting user owns or has permission over the wishlist identified by a user-controlled key. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists via WPScan; no active exploitation (KEV) has been confirmed. CVSS rates impact at 5.3 (I:L) as only wishlist names - not data, credentials, or site availability - are affected.
RemediationAI
Update YITH WooCommerce Wishlist to version 4.18.1 or later via the WordPress plugin repository (Dashboard → Plugins → Update). This is the vendor-released patch confirmed by WPScan at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/2a0a8762-582d-41ae-bb85-a1e906be811a/. If immediate patching is not feasible, consider deploying a WAF rule blocking POST/GET requests to the wishlist rename endpoint for unauthenticated sessions; this may impact legitimate guest-wishlist rename flows as a side effect. Alternatively, if the site does not require guest (unauthenticated) wishlist usage, enforcing authentication for all wishlist interactions at the application or web-server level narrows the attack surface until the patch is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details
YITH WooCommerce Wishlist is a WordPress plugin extending WooCommerce to allow shoppers to save and share product wishlists. The affected code path handles wishlist rename requests and accepts a wishlist identifier supplied by the client, but performs no server-side ownership or capability check before applying the rename. This is a textbook CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) flaw: the server trusts the client-supplied wishlist ID to determine the target resource without verifying the requester's relationship to that resource. Affected versions are captured under CPE cpe:2.3:a:unknown:yith_woocommerce_wishlist:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (vendor field is a placeholder; the actual vendor is YITH). The vulnerability exists in a WordPress/WooCommerce stack and is reachable over HTTP/HTTPS without authentication.
