Authenticated data disclosure via unchecked AJAX authorization
Published Nov 18, 2025 · Updated Nov 18, 2025
Authorization bypass in wModes 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read WordPress and WooCommerce data via AJAX. The plugin's AJAX endpoint returns requested user and store records without verifying that the caller has the required capability. Subscriber-level access is sufficient to expose emails, usernames, roles, capabilities, products, and payment-method information.
