Vulnerability Overview
The Wholesale Market for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file download due to missing user input validation during the system path generation process in versions up to, and including, 1.0.7. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level privileges to download arbitrary files on the affected site's server, including database configuration files from other sites.
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. A successful exploit has high impact on confidentiality.
CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Reaching this weakness in Wholesale Market for WooCommerce <= 1.0.7 takes an account at Administrator level or above. 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 Wholesale Market for WooCommerce the fix is 1.0.8: builds <= 1.0.7 are affected, anything from 1.0.8 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.0.8, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
