CVE-2026-24992 identifies a vulnerability in the WPFactory Advanced WooCommerce Product Sales Reporting plugin, specifically versions up to 4.1.2. The issue involves the insertion of sensitive information into data sent by the plugin, which can result in the unauthorized retrieval of embedded sensitive data. This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation or sanitization of data before it is transmitted, allowing attackers or unauthorized users to access sensitive sales or customer information embedded within the reporting data. The plugin is widely used in WooCommerce environments to provide advanced sales analytics and reporting capabilities. Although no known exploits have been reported in the wild, the vulnerability poses a risk of data leakage that could compromise confidentiality. The lack of a CVSS score indicates that the vulnerability is newly disclosed, with limited public technical details. The vulnerability does not appear to require authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The flaw could be exploited by an attacker with access to the reporting interface or by intercepting data transmissions if they are not properly secured. This vulnerability highlights the importance of secure coding practices in e-commerce plugins, particularly those handling sensitive transactional data.

For European organizations, especially those operating e-commerce platforms using WooCommerce with the affected WPFactory plugin, this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive sales and customer data. This exposure can result in loss of customer trust, regulatory penalties under GDPR due to improper handling of personal data, and potential financial losses from data breaches. The vulnerability could be exploited to access detailed sales reports, customer purchase histories, or other embedded sensitive information, which could be leveraged for fraud, identity theft, or competitive intelligence. Given the widespread use of WooCommerce in Europe, the impact could be significant for mid to large-sized online retailers. The breach of sensitive data may also trigger mandatory breach notifications and damage brand reputation. Additionally, attackers could use the exposed data as a foothold for further attacks within the organization’s network.

Organizations should immediately inventory their WooCommerce installations to identify if the WPFactory Advanced WooCommerce Product Sales Reporting plugin is in use and verify the version. Since no patch links are currently available, organizations should monitor WPFactory and trusted vulnerability databases for updates or patches addressing CVE-2026-24992. In the interim, restrict access to the reporting plugin to trusted administrators only and enforce strict access controls. Implement network-level protections such as TLS encryption to secure data in transit and monitor for unusual data exfiltration patterns. Conduct manual code reviews or apply temporary code-level mitigations to sanitize or filter outgoing data from the plugin if feasible. Regularly audit logs for unauthorized access attempts to reporting features. Educate staff on the risks of this vulnerability and prepare incident response plans in case of data exposure. Finally, once a patch is released, prioritize timely application to remediate the vulnerability.
