CVE-2026-87919: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in Product XML Feed Manager for WooCommerce
The Product XML Feed Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 3.1.1 does not restrict which object method its product shortcode may call, nor check the user's capability over the targeted product, allowing users with contributor-level access to delete arbitrary WooCommerce products by previewing a post that contains the shortcode.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-87919 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the Product XML Feed Manager for WooCommerce WordPress plugin versions prior to 3.1.1. The flaw arises from the plugin's failure to restrict the object methods callable by its product shortcode and to check user permissions on the targeted product. As a result, users with contributor-level access can delete arbitrary WooCommerce products by previewing a post that includes the shortcode, leading to unauthorized product deletion.
Potential Impact
Users with contributor-level access can delete arbitrary WooCommerce products without proper authorization. This could disrupt e-commerce operations by removing products unexpectedly, potentially causing loss of sales and administrative overhead to restore deleted items.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the Product XML Feed Manager for WooCommerce plugin to version 3.1.1 or later, where this authorization issue is fixed. Until then, restrict contributor-level access or avoid previewing posts containing the product shortcode to mitigate risk.
