CVE-2023-51523Network attack vector

Unauthorized product duplication via missing capability check

Published Jun 14, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Missing authorization in Easy Duplicate Product for WooCommerce 0.3.0.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to duplicate products. The AJAX-hooked wedp_duplicate_product_action() function performs duplication without checking whether the caller has an appropriate WordPress capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and exploitation creates unauthorized copies of existing WooCommerce product records without disclosing data or interrupting the site.
