AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-13792 is a code injection vulnerability in the WooCommerce Food - Restaurant Menu & Food ordering plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 3.3.2. The flaw arises because the plugin does not properly validate user-supplied input before executing it via the do_shortcode function, enabling unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary shortcodes. This improper control of code generation (CWE-94) can lead to unauthorized actions impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and partial impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes within the WordPress environment, potentially leading to unauthorized information disclosure, modification, or disruption of service. The impact is rated as high severity based on the CVSS score of 7.3. However, no known exploits have been reported in the wild so far.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation. Monitor vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
