At a glance

CVE-2024-1857 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 2.6.6. It carries a CVSS score of 5.3 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 2.6.7; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed March 2024, reported by Krzysztof Zając.

Vulnerability Overview

The Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce – Create, Redeem & Manage Digital Gift Certificates with Personalized Templates plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.6 via the wps_wgm_preview_email_template(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read password protected and draft posts that may contain sensitive data.

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.

CWE-862: Missing Authorization

Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce <= 2.6.6 carries this weakness at wps_wgm_preview_email_template(), and reaching it takes no account at all. A missing authorization check means a function is reachable by anyone who can reach the endpoint, because the code never asks whether the caller is allowed to perform the action.

Any user who can reach the endpoint gets to run an action reserved for higher-privileged roles, from reading protected data to changing settings or content. For Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce the fix is 2.6.7: builds <= 2.6.6 are affected, anything from 2.6.7 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 2.6.7, 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: Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce 2.6.7 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
