Description
The FOX – Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized data loss due to a missing capability check on the 'admin_head' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.5. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to delete the entire multi-currency configuration by visiting any wp-admin page with the `woocs_reset` parameter appended. Additionally, because no nonce is verified, this is also exploitable via Cross-Site Request Forgery against any administrator. The vulnerability may also be exploited by Subscriber-level users if the site is configured to allow Subscriber access to 'wp-admin' pages.

AI Analysis

Impact

The FOX – Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce plugin contains a missing capability check on the admin_head function, a Missing Authorization flaw (CWE-862), allowing authenticated users with Contributor level or higher to delete the entire multi‑currency configuration. Because the code does not validate a nonce, the mechanism can be invoked via Cross‑Site Request Forgery against administrators. If the site permits Subscriber access to wp‑admin pages, even lower‑privileged users could exploit the flaw. The result is loss of configuration data and potential service interruption for sites relying on the plugin’s currency settings.

Affected Systems

All installations of the FOX – Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce plugin running version 1.4.5 or earlier on WordPress sites are affected. The vendor is Realmag777.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 8.1, indicating high severity. EPSS data is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack path requires authenticated access to the wp‑admin area; an attacker with Contributor privileges can trigger the reset by adding the woocs_reset parameter to any admin URL, or an admin can be victimized via CSRF. The potential impact is data loss and service disruption. Given the high score and the need for user authentication, the risk is considerable for sites where contributors or subscribers have admin‑area access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to a version of FOX – Currency Switcher Professional for WooCommerce that includes the missing capability check and nonce validation.
  • If upgrading is not immediately possible, temporarily modify the plugin’s core file to remove or comment out the woocs_reset handler, or apply a custom patch that restores a capability check and nonce verification before executing the reset.
  • Reconfigure the WordPress role settings to ensure that only administrators can access wp‑admin pages, thereby preventing contributors or subscribers from triggering the reset action.
