CVE-2022-3762Network attack vector

ShopManager arbitrary file download via unvalidated paths

Published Nov 21, 2022 · Updated Apr 30, 2025

Arbitrary file download in Booster for WooCommerce before 5.6.7 allows remote authenticated users to read server files via plugin download modules. The modules accept file paths without validating that requested files are permitted, enabling ShopManager and Admin accounts to retrieve files outside intended locations, including multisite contexts. Exploitation requires an authenticated ShopManager or Administrator account and results in confidentiality loss without reported integrity or availability impact.
