At a glance
CVE-2024-31276 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Export Products, Orders & Customers for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.0.7. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). The root cause is a missing authorization check on a reachable function. The issue is fixed in version 2.0.9; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed January 2024, reported by Kévin Mosbahi (Mika).
Vulnerability Overview
The Products, Order & Customers Export for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to missing capability checks on the alg_wc_export_admin_product_preview and alg_wc_export_admin_product_change_date_filter functions in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to export product features and change date filters.
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 interaction from a victim user.
CWE-862: Missing Authorization
Reaching this weakness in Export Products, Orders & Customers for WooCommerce <= 2.0.7 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. 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 Export Products, Orders & Customers for WooCommerce the fix is 2.0.9: builds <= 2.0.7 are affected, anything from 2.0.9 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 2.0.9, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
Because it turns on account access, WordSec's login security is the relevant layer: role-based two-factor, captcha and brute-force limits raise the cost of getting the account this needs. None of that substitutes for the fix: Export Products, Orders & Customers for WooCommerce 2.0.9 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
