Authenticated Administrator account creation via unchecked settings import
Published Jun 7, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Missing authorization in TI WooCommerce Wishlist 1.21.11 and earlier and Pro 1.21.4 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to alter site options. The admin_action_-registered import routine in ti-woocommerce-wishlist/includes/export.class.php checks neither user capability nor a security nonce before writing supplied values to the WordPress options table. Any logged-in WooCommerce customer can reach the action with wc-ajax=1, enable registration, assign Administrator as the default role, and create a privileged account; observed attacks used this path.
