CVE-2024-13623: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in webfactory Order Export for WooCommerce
The Order Export for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure in all versions up to, and including, 3.24 via the 'uploads' directory. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to extract sensitive data stored insecurely in the /wp-content/uploads directory which can contain exported order information. The plugin is only vulnerable when 'Order data storage' is set to 'WordPress posts storage (legacy)', and cannot be exploited when the default option of 'High-performance order storage' is enabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Order Export for WooCommerce plugin up to version 3.24 has a sensitive information exposure vulnerability (CWE-200) due to insecure storage of exported order data in the /wp-content/uploads directory. This allows unauthenticated remote attackers to retrieve sensitive order information if the plugin is configured to use the legacy 'WordPress posts storage' method. The vulnerability does not affect installations using the default 'High-performance order storage' setting. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.9, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can access sensitive order export data stored insecurely in the uploads directory, potentially exposing customer or order information. The impact is limited to configurations using the legacy storage option, reducing the overall risk. There is no indication of data modification or availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should ensure that the plugin is configured to use the default 'High-performance order storage' option instead of the legacy 'WordPress posts storage' setting to prevent exploitation.
