CVE-2026-3138Product Filter for WooCommerce by WBW <= 3.1.2 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Filter Data Deletion via TRUNCATE TABLE
Medium 6.5
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 0.3% (higher than 21% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The Product Filter for WooCommerce by WBW plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data loss due to a missing capability check in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.2. This is due to the plugin's MVC framework dynamically registering unauthenticated AJAX handlers via `wp_ajax_nopriv_` hooks without verifying user capabilities, combined with the base controller's `__call()` magic method forwarding undefined method calls to the model layer, and the `havePermissions()` method defaulting to `true` when no permissions are explicitly defined. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to truncate the plugin's `wp_wpf_filters` database table via a crafted AJAX request with `action=delete`, permanently destroying all filter configurations.
