What the vulnerability does
The WooCommerce Tools plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing capability check on the woocommerce_tool_toggle_module() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.9. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to deactivate arbitrary plugin modules.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
WooCommerce Tools versions 1.2.9 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing authenticated users to modify data they should not have access to. An attacker with a low-privilege account can change settings or content without proper permission validation. Update to a version newer than 1.2.9 to resolve this issue.
What an attacker can do
Modify WooCommerce settings or data without proper authorization.
Potential impact on your site
Unauthorized users can alter WooCommerce configuration or product data, potentially disrupting store operations.
Conditions required to exploit
Attacker must have a low-privilege user account on the site.
