Description
The Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce (Pro) plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 3.8.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary attachments by exploiting a missing capability or ownership check in the ajax_remove_uploaded() function. The vulnerability arises because the AJAX handler is accessible to both authenticated and unauthenticated users and is protected only by a nonce that is publicly available on checkout pages with file upload fields. Exploitation can lead to deletion of important media files and potential denial of service.
