Until an official fix is released, users should monitor vendor communications for updates. Applying principle of least privilege and restricting access to the plugin's wishlist functionality may help reduce risk temporarily, but no official workaround is documented.
Description
The Wishlist for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.3 via several functions in class-th-wishlist-frontend.php due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify other user's wishlists
