Impact

The vulnerability allows the insertion of sensitive information into files or directories that are externally accessible through the Doofinder for WooCommerce plugin. An attacker could retrieve embedded sensitive data, such as personal or financial information, leading to confidentiality compromise. This weakness, classified as CWE-538, directly exposes data that should not be publicly viewable.

Affected Systems

Doofinder products, specifically the Doofinder for WooCommerce WordPress plugin versions up to and including 2.17.2. The issue does not affect later releases, such as 2.17.3 and newer.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 7.5 indicates high risk, and the EPSS value is currently unavailable, so the exact likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified. The vulnerability is not yet listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Based on the description, the attack vector is inferred to be remote, requiring the attacker to exploit the plugin’s file handling logic through a WordPress site that hosts the affected plugin.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Update the WordPress Doofinder for WooCommerce plugin to the latest available version (at least 2.17.3).


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Doofinder for WooCommerce plugin to version 2.17.3 or later. This is the official fix released by the vendor.
  • If you cannot update immediately, remove or rename any directories or files written by the plugin that could contain sensitive data, and ensure those paths are not publicly accessible via the web server.
  • Adjust the file system permissions for the WordPress uploads and plugin directories so that they are not world‑readable; only the web server should have read access.
