CVE-2024-8277WooCommerce Photo Reviews Premium <= 1.3.13.2 - Authentication Bypass to Account Takeover and Privilege Escalation
Critical 9.8
In plain English
A critical-severity authentication bypass in WooCommerce Photo Reviews Premium from villatheme. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 1.6% (higher than 76% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The WooCommerce Photo Reviews Premium plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.13.2. This is due to the plugin not properly validating what user transient is being used in the login() function and not properly verifying the user's identity. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as user that has dismissed an admin notice in the past 30 days, which is often an administrator. Alternatively, a user can log in as any user with any transient that has a valid user_id as the value, though it would be more difficult to exploit this successfully.
