Medium 5.3
In plain English
A medium-severity missing authorization in Product Filter for WooCommerce by WBW from woobewoo. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.2% (higher than 14% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Product Filter for WooCommerce by WBW plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization / Information Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.6 via the 'filterSettings[default_query]' parameter of the 'filtersFrontend' AJAX action. The handler is registered as 'wp_ajax_nopriv_filtersFrontend' and performs no capability or nonce check; raw POST data is JSON-decoded into $filterSettings and the attacker-controlled 'default_query' array is unconditionally array_merge()'d into the WP_Query arguments, overriding the plugin's safe defaults (most notably post_status, post_type, posts_per_page, and nopaging). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate non-public WooCommerce products (draft, future, pending) — including their count and rendered listing markup — and to force unbounded queries that load all products in a single request.
