What the vulnerability does

01Description

The Perfit WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.1. This is due to missing authorization checks on the `logout` function called via the `actions` function hooked to `admin_init`. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary plugin settings via the `action` parameter.

Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms

02Summary

Perfit WooCommerce versions 1.0.1 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to modify data on the site. The vulnerability requires only network access and no user interaction. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 1.0.1 as soon as a patch becomes available.
