CVE-2024-9927: CWE-287 Improper Authentication in WP Overnight BV WooCommerce Order Proposal
The WooCommerce Order Proposal plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation via order proposal in all versions up to and including 2.0.5. This is due to the improper implementation of allow_payment_without_login function. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level access and above, to log in to WordPress as an arbitrary user account, including administrators.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WooCommerce Order Proposal plugin contains an improper authentication vulnerability (CWE-287) due to a flawed implementation of the allow_payment_without_login function. This weakness permits authenticated attackers with Shop Manager-level permissions or above to impersonate any user account, including administrators, effectively escalating their privileges. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 2.0.5 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows attackers with Shop Manager-level access to escalate their privileges to administrator by logging in as arbitrary users. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected WordPress site, potentially leading to full site takeover or unauthorized administrative actions.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Shop Manager-level access to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity related to user authentication. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to reduce risk.
