Description Preview
The WooCommerce Ship to Multiple Addresses plugin versions up to 3.8.3 contain an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability. This security issue allows attackers to bypass authorization controls by manipulating user-controlled keys, potentially exposing shipping address information of other users. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key).
Overview
The vulnerability affects the WooCommerce Ship to Multiple Addresses plugin for WordPress, which allows customers to ship products to multiple addresses in a single order. Due to improper access controls, an attacker could potentially access and view shipping addresses belonging to other users by manipulating certain parameters. This IDOR vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive customer information, including names, addresses, and other shipping details stored within the system.
Remediation
Website administrators using the affected plugin should:
- Update to the latest version of the WooCommerce Ship to Multiple Addresses plugin (version higher than 3.8.3).
- If immediate update is not possible, consider temporarily disabling the plugin until an update can be applied.
- Implement additional security measures such as Web Application Firewalls (WAF) to help mitigate potential exploitation.
- Regularly audit user access logs for suspicious activities that might indicate attempted exploitation.
- Follow security best practices for WordPress installations, including keeping all plugins and themes updated.
