At a glance
CVE-2024-13623 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the Order Export for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 3.24. It carries a CVSS score of 5.9 (reachable over the network; high confidentiality impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 3.25; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed January 2025, reported by Tim Coen.
Vulnerability Overview
The Order Export for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.24 via the 'uploads' directory. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data stored insecurely in the /wp-content/uploads directory which can contain exported order information. The plugin is only vulnerable when 'Order data storage' is set to 'WordPress posts storage (legacy)', and cannot be exploited when the default option of 'High-performance order storage' is enabled.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, and no privileges on the target site, and no interaction from a victim user. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Order Export for WooCommerce <= 3.24 carries this weakness at uploads, and reaching it takes no account at all. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.
The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For Order Export for WooCommerce the fix is 3.25: builds <= 3.24 are affected, anything from 3.25 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 3.25, 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: Order Export for WooCommerce 3.25 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
