Description
The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 5.120.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete arbitrary attachments from the Media Library — including administrator-owned product images, logos, and documents — by injecting their IDs into a review that is later trashed and purged. Exploitation requires a public review-form link (a 13-hex formId distributed to customers via e-mail), which exposes the nonce needed to reach the handler without any WordPress account or session.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin suffers from a missing authorization check that allows any requester to delete arbitrary attachments from the Media Library. The flaw is triggered via the items[][media] parameter in a review submission, enabling permanent removal of product images, logos, and other documents. This is a classic Missing Authorization weakness (CWE-862) that can undermine site integrity by erasing key media assets, but it does not grant code execution or broader system compromise.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites running the ivole Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin, versions 5.120.0 or earlier. The issue exists in all releases up to and including 5.120.0. Affected sites expose review‑form links to customers, typically via email, which provide the necessary nonce to reach the deletion endpoint without an authenticated WordPress session.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 9.1 indicates a very high risk. While the EPSS score is not available, the vulnerability can be easily exploited by any actor who obtains or guesses a valid public review‑form link, which is commonly distributed to customers. The exploit requires no privileged WordPress account; the attacker can supply any attachment ID to the endpoint to delete files permanently. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, but the lack of authentication makes it a prime target for automated attacks once a public form link is discovered.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Disable or restrict the ability to submit reviews from unauthenticated users, thereby eliminating public form links that expose the nonce.
  • Update the Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin to a version newer than 5.120.0 once the vendor releases a fix that implements proper authorization checks for attachment deletion.
  • Implement a security rule or use a plugin to enforce that only users with the delete_attachment capability (e.g., administrators) can delete media library items, ensuring that any unauthorized requests reaching the endpoint are denied.
