Subscriber-level unauthorized actions via unchecked AJAX handlers
Published Jul 16, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Missing authorization in PW WooCommerce On Sale! 1.39 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to trigger unauthorized AJAX actions. The plugin's AJAX handlers omit a capability check before performing a higher-privileged action; public advisories do not identify the handler or action. Subscriber-level access is required, and the bounded result is unauthorized activity with limited data modification and service interruption.
