WooCommerce Photo Reviews Premium <= 1.3.13.2 - Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover and Privilege Escalation

9.8
Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
CVE CVE-2024-8277
CVSS 9.8 (Critical)
Publicly Published September 10, 2024

Researcher Tonn

Description

The WooCommerce Photo Reviews Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.13.2. This is due to the plugin not properly validating what user transient is being used in the login() function and not properly verifying the user's identity. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as user that has dismissed an admin notice in the past 30 days, which is often an administrator. Alternatively, a user can log in as any user with any transient that has a valid user_id as the value, though it would be more difficult to exploit this successfully.

Wordfence blocked 5 attacks targeting this vulnerability in the past 24 hours.
