At a glance

CVE-2024-13694 is a high-severity Improper Authorization vulnerability in the MoreConvert Wishlist for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.8.7. It carries a CVSS score of 7.5 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity; high confidentiality impact). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 1.8.8; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed January 2025, reported by Tim Coen.

Vulnerability Overview

The WooCommerce Wishlist (High customization, fast setup,Free Elementor Wishlist, most features) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.7 via the download_pdf_file() function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract data from wishlists that they should not have access to.

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 confidentiality.

CWE-285: Improper Authorization

MoreConvert Wishlist for WooCommerce <= 1.8.7 carries this weakness at download_pdf_file(), and reaching it takes no account at all. Improper authorization means a permission check exists but does not cover the case being exercised, so a caller who is allowed to do one thing is allowed to do a neighbouring thing as well.

A lower-privileged account performs an action reserved for a higher one, which on a multi-author or membership site means an ordinary user reaching administrative behaviour. For MoreConvert Wishlist for WooCommerce the fix is 1.8.8: builds <= 1.8.7 are affected, anything from 1.8.8 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 1.8.8, 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: MoreConvert Wishlist for WooCommerce 1.8.8 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
