Technical Analysis
The File Uploads Addon for WooCommerce WordPress plugin versions 1.7.2 up to but not including 1.7.6 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability (CWE-639). The plugin fails to verify that the person requesting access to a customer-uploaded file is the same customer who uploaded it. As a result, unauthenticated attackers who know or can guess the file name can download files uploaded by other customers.
Potential Impact
Unauthorized disclosure of customer-uploaded files is possible, potentially exposing sensitive or private information to unauthenticated attackers. This compromises confidentiality of user data stored via the plugin.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the File Uploads Addon for WooCommerce plugin to version 1.7.6 or later, where this authorization check issue has been fixed. No other mitigation is indicated.
