Sensitive data exposure via missing capability check
Published Nov 18, 2022 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Phone Orders for WooCommerce <= 3.7.1 contains an authorization bypass allowing remote authenticated users to read order data. The ajax_gate function lacks a capability check and exposes additional functions that also omit authorization checks. Subscriber-level authentication is sufficient, and the bounded impact is disclosure of order information and related sensitive data without integrity or availability effects.
