CVE-2024-0201Network attack vector

Subscriber-level settings modification via missing capability check

Published Jan 3, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026

Missing authorization in Product Expiry for WooCommerce 2.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to modify plugin settings. The save_settings function accepts submitted settings and writes them without verifying that the caller has the required capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient, and altered settings can change product-expiry behavior and storefront presentation.
