1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only network access to a WordPress site running YITH WooCommerce Product Bundles version 2.29.0 or earlier with the plugin active; per the CVSS vector (PR:N, UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is needed against default configurations. The practical limiting factor is scope: impact is confined to a low-integrity effect (I:L) on a specific bundle-related action or data element - there is no confidentiality exposure or availability/denial impact - and the store must actually have the vulnerable plugin installed and enabled. The advisory does not name a specific feature toggle or non-default setting as a precondition, indicating the missing authorization check is present in the standard plugin behavior. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity Missing Authorization (CWE-862) flaw in the YITH WooCommerce Product Bundles WordPress plugin, scored CVSS 5.3 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. The vector signals a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated (PR:N) weakness requiring no user interaction, but with impact limited to integrity only (I:L) - no confidentiality (C:N) or availability (A:N) consequences. This pattern is typical of broken access control where an unauthenticated actor can invoke an action or modify a specific data element that should be gated behind an authorization check, rather than achieving full data disclosure or site takeover. No EPSS score was supplied in the input, the CVE is NOT on CISA KEV, and no public proof-of-concept is referenced (only the Patchstack advisory), so exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' Net assessment: the unauthenticated network vector keeps this worth patching on WooCommerce stores running the plugin, but the integrity-only, low-impact scope means it is a routine-priority broken-access-control issue, not a critical emergency - it is a real but bounded risk, well below high-CVSS/high-urgency flaws that also compromise confidentiality or allow code execution. EPSS data is missing from the input and cannot be weighed; this should be noted when triaging. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to a vulnerable plugin endpoint or AJAX/REST action that fails to verify the caller's authorization, allowing them to perform or alter a bundle-related operation they should not be permitted to. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, this requires only network access to the WooCommerce site and no credentials or user interaction. No public exploit code is referenced, so exploitation would require an attacker to independently identify the specific unprotected action. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026
Missing authorization controls in the YITH WooCommerce Product Bundles plugin for WordPress (versions through 2.29.0) allow unauthenticated remote attackers to perform bundle-related actions they should not be permitted to perform on sites where the plugin is installed and active. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N, base 5.3) confirms that no credentials or user interaction are required, but the impact is bounded to a low-integrity effect - there is no confidentiality or availability impact - and the store must actually run the affected plugin for exposure. At the time of analysis there is no vendor-released patch identified and no public exploit code identified; exploitation is limited to network reachability of the vulnerable endpoint on a WooCommerce store with the bundle feature enabled.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch was identified at the time of analysis; version 2.29.0 is the latest confirmed affected release, so the primary action is to track the YITH release channel and the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/yith-woocommerce-product-bundles/vulnerability/wordpress-yith-woocommerce-product-bundles-plugin-2-29-0-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve and upgrade to the first version that explicitly fixes the missing authorization check as soon as it is published. Until then, the most effective compensating control is to deactivate the YITH WooCommerce Product Bundles plugin if the store does not actually use bundle products, accepting the loss of bundle functionality as the trade-off; if bundles are in use, restrict the exposed bundle-related endpoints with WAF or reverse-proxy rules that block unauthenticated POST/GET requests to the plugin's handler paths, keeping in mind that overly broad rules can break legitimate storefront bundle rendering for guests. Additional measures include requiring authentication at the web-server or CDN layer for the affected routes (which will block guest browsing of bundle features), and adding monitoring or alerting on unexpected bundle configuration changes so that unauthorized modifications are detected quickly. Because the vector is PR:N/UI:N, IP allowlisting or rate limiting alone is insufficient as a fix and should be treated only as temporary friction while a patched release is awaited.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is classified as CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in a WordPress/WooCommerce plugin, meaning an action that should be gated by a capability or permission check is reachable without the check being enforced on the request path. WordPress plugins typically expose such actions through admin-ajax.php handlers, REST API routes, or form-processing endpoints, and the standard defense is a combination of current_user_can() capability checks and nonce validation; when one of these is absent or incorrectly configured, the endpoint becomes reachable by any network client. The reported CPE cpe:2.3:a:yith:yith_woocommerce_product_bundles:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and the EUVD record (EUVD-2026-94931, affected range ≤2.29.0) both treat the entire product line up to and including 2.29.0 as affected, which indicates the missing check is part of the plugin's standard behavior rather than an artifact of an optional or non-default configuration. Because the plugin extends WooCommerce with a composite 'bundle' product type, the affected action concerns bundle data or bundle configuration, which is consistent with the assessed integrity-only (I:L) scope: an attacker can cause a limited, unauthorized modification of bundle-related state but cannot read protected data or disrupt service availability. No memory-safety, injection, or privilege-escalation primitive is involved; the root cause is purely an access-control oversight.
