CVE-2026-89055Customer Reviews for WooCommerce <= 5.120.0 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Attachment Deletion via 'items[][media]' Parameter
Critical 9.1
In plain English
A critical-severity missing authorization in Customer Reviews for WooCommerce from ivole. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.6% (higher than 48% of all known vulnerabilities). Ready-made attack tooling exists: public proof-of-concept code.
Official description
The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.120.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete arbitrary attachments from the Media Library — including administrator-owned product images, logos, and documents — by injecting their IDs into a review that is later trashed and purged. Exploitation requires a public review-form link (a 13-hex formId distributed to customers via e-mail), which exposes the nonce needed to reach the handler without any WordPress account or session.
