Strategic Overview

Vulnerability Overview

The Product Catalog Enquiry for WooCommerce by MultiVendorX plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to cross-site request forgery due to an improper capability check on the 'catalog_permission' function in versions up to, and including, 5.0.5. While the REST endpoints are only initialized for administrator users, the fact that the 'catalog_permission' returns true means that the REST route is treated as unauthenticated and thus does not require a REST nonce. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to save enquiries.

Technical Analysis

REMEDIATION: Update to version 5.0.6, or a newer patched version --- IDENTIFIER: CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)) The web application does not, or cannot, sufficiently verify whether a request was intentionally provided by the user who sent the request, which could have originated from an unauthorized actor.
