At a glance
CVE-2026-89055 is a critical-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Customer Reviews for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 5.120.0. It carries a CVSS score of 9.1 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high integrity, availability impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 5.121.0; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed September 2026, reported by HumbertoSP.
Vulnerability Overview
The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.120.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete arbitrary attachments from the Media Library — including administrator-owned product images, logos, and documents — by injecting their IDs into a review that is later trashed and purged. Exploitation requires a public review-form link (a 13-hex formId distributed to customers via e-mail), which exposes the nonce needed to reach the handler without any WordPress account or session.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on integrity, availability.
CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Reaching this weakness in Customer Reviews for WooCommerce <= 5.120.0 takes no account at all. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.
Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For Customer Reviews for WooCommerce the fix is 5.121.0: builds <= 5.120.0 are affected, anything from 5.121.0 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 5.121.0, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
This one needs no account at all, which puts it outside what login hardening can reach; WordSec's login security narrows the account-level paths around it, and the firewall is what inspects the request itself. None of that substitutes for the fix: Customer Reviews for WooCommerce 5.121.0 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
