Impact
The vulnerability resides in the Woo Commerce Minimum Weight plugin’s settings update handler, where a nonce check is omitted. The resulting CSRF flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to force a logged‑in site administrator to submit a forged POST request that alters the minimum order weight configuration. This change can affect shipping calculations or order eligibility, potentially disrupting e‑commerce operations. The flaw is classified as a CSRF (CWE‑352) and carries a CVSS score of 4.3, indicating a moderate risk level.
Affected Systems
All installations of the Woo Commerce Minimum Weight plugin for WordPress, version 3.0.1 and earlier, developed by hemant29.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 4.3 reflects a moderate severity. The EPSS score is not available and the issue is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The exploit requires only a delivered forged POST request to the settings page; the attacker does not need to compromise the site beforehand. The attack vector is likely a malicious link or page that an administrator unknowingly visits, prompting the automatic form submission. Once the administrator clicks the link, the unverified change is applied with the admin’s privileges.
