Vulnerability Overview
The Order Notification for WooCommerce – Get Audio Alert on new Orders plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in all versions up to 3.6.3 (exclusive). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute code on the server.
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, integrity, availability — full site compromise territory.
CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Reaching this weakness in Order Notification for WooCommerce < 3.6.3 takes no account at all. Code injection means input from a request reaches a language construct that evaluates code, so the attacker's text is executed rather than treated as data.
The injected code runs with the web server's privileges, giving the attacker the same access to the database and filesystem as WordPress itself. For Order Notification for WooCommerce the fix is 3.6.3: builds < 3.6.3 are affected, anything from 3.6.3 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 3.6.3, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
Requests carrying this pattern arrive without a session, so nothing upstream of the firewall gets a chance to reject them: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. Classes like this one can leave something behind, so the staged malware scanner is the second half: it looks for dropped files and modified code rather than for the request that created them. None of that substitutes for the fix: Order Notification for WooCommerce 3.6.3 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
