At a glance
CVE-2024-30233 is a medium-severity Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in the WholesaleX WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 1.3.1. It carries a CVSS score of 4.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). The issue is fixed in version 1.3.2; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed March 2024, reported by Emili Castells.
Vulnerability Overview
The WholesaleX – WooCommerce Wholesale Plugin (Wholesale Prices, Dynamic Pricing, Tiered Pricing) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1 via the 'export_users'. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with access to the admin dashboard (Subscribers, though with WooCommerce installed this would be limited to contributors by default) to extract sensitive data including lists of users.
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-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
WholesaleX <= 1.3.1 carries this weakness at export_users, and reaching it takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. 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 WholesaleX the fix is 1.3.2: builds <= 1.3.1 are affected, anything from 1.3.2 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.3.2, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The fix is the thing that ends this: WholesaleX 1.3.2 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
