Product visibility manipulation via missing nonce validation
Published Oct 20, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
CSRF in PluginUs.Net BEAR 1.1.3.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter WooCommerce product visibility via forged requests. The woobe_bulkoperations_visibility function processes bulk visibility changes without correctly validating a WordPress nonce, allowing attacker-controlled parameters to reach the operation. Exploitation requires a site administrator to interact with the forged request; the bounded impact is unauthorized modification of product visibility.
