Description
The YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.10.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform actions on the REST API /wp-json/yith/wishlist/v1/lists endpoint (which uses permission_callback => '__return_true') and the AJAX delete_item handler (which only checks nonce validity without verifying object-level authorization). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to disclose wishlist tokens for any user and subsequently delete wishlist items by chaining the REST API authorization bypass with the exposed delete_item nonce on shared wishlist pages and the AJAX handler's missing object-level authorization check.

AI Analysis

Impact

The YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin fails to verify that a user is authorized to perform actions on the REST API endpoint /wp-json/yith/wishlist/v1/lists, which uses permission_callback => '__return_true', and the AJAX delete_item handler only checks nonce validity without validating object-level authorization, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to discover a wishlist token for any user and subsequently delete wishlist items. The primary impact is loss of user data integrity and potential privacy disclosure through exposed tokens.

Affected Systems

YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 4.10.0 are affected; all earlier releases are also vulnerable to the same authorization bypass and token disclosure flaws.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.3, indicating moderate severity, and the EPSS score is less than 1%, suggesting exploitation likelihood is low but not negligible; the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, the attack vector is likely through unauthenticated access to the shared wishlist REST endpoint and the AJAX delete_item handler, allowing a remote attacker to chain the token disclosure and deletion operations without any authentication.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest version of the YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin which implements proper authorization checks.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, restrict or disable the /wp-json/yith/wishlist/v1/lists endpoint so that it is only accessible to authenticated users, for example by adjusting WordPress role permissions or adding an .htaccess rule.
  • Verify and modify the delete_item AJAX handler to enforce object‑level authorization checks, ensuring that deletion is only permitted for items belonging to the authenticated owner.
