At a glance
CVE-2024-13424 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Ni Sales Commission For WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.2.4. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires an authenticated account at Subscriber level or above. No fixed release has been reported yet; treat installations running this software as exposed. Disclosed January 2025, reported by SOPROBRO.
Vulnerability Overview
The Ni Sales Commission For WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on the 'niwoosc_ajax' AJAX endpoint in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.4. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to update the plugins settings and modify commission amounts.
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
Ni Sales Commission For WooCommerce <= 1.2.4 carries this weakness at niwoosc_ajax, and reaching it takes an account at Subscriber level or above. 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. No fixed build of this plugin is recorded for Ni Sales Commission For WooCommerce yet, so installs running <= 1.2.4 stay exposed until the vendor ships one.
Remediation
No known patch available. Please review the vulnerability's details in depth and employ mitigations based on your organization's risk tolerance. It may be best to uninstall the affected software and find a replacement.
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. No patched version is recorded yet, which is the case where a filtering layer matters most, because there is nothing to update to.
