At a glance
CVE-2022-45813 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Grid/List View for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.1.3.6. It carries a CVSS score of 5.4 (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 1.1.3.7; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed December 2022, reported by István Márton.
Vulnerability Overview
Several BeRocket Plugins for WordPress are vulnerable to authorization bypass due to missing capability checks on functions corresponding to AJAX actions that are available to subscribers. This includes the close_notice, subscribe, disable_rate_notice, feature_request_send, get_plugin_error_ajax, close_notice, and test_key functions This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to invoke those functions intended for administrator use. One of the functions is used to subscribe to the BeRocket newsletter and can be used by subscribers to subscribe arbitrary email addresses. These functions are still missing Cross-Site Request Forgery Protection.
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 Grid/List View for WooCommerce <= 1.1.3.6 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 Grid/List View for WooCommerce the fix is 1.1.3.7: builds <= 1.1.3.6 are affected, anything from 1.1.3.7 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.1.3.7, 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: Grid/List View for WooCommerce 1.1.3.7 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
