Unauthenticated configuration disclosure via public PHP-info script
Published Nov 18, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Information disclosure in Google for WooCommerce 2.8.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to read web-server and PHP configuration. The bundled print_php_information.php script invokes PHP's information output when directly requested without performing an authorization check. No authentication or interaction is required; disclosed paths, modules, and runtime settings can support follow-on attacks.
