Description
The WC Fields Factory WordPress plugin before 4.1.11 does not properly restrict access to its field-management AJAX action, allowing authenticated users with Subscriber-level access and above to create, modify and delete arbitrary post meta on any post, including WooCommerce products, regardless of ownership, and to manipulate stored pricing rules on a product to reduce its checkout price.

AI Analysis

Impact

The WC Fields Factory WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.1.11 suffers from an access‑control weakness that allows any authenticated user with Subscriber role or higher to call a vulnerable AJAX action. This action permits creation, modification, and deletion of arbitrary post meta on any post, including WooCommerce products. An attacker could thereby alter product attributes, modify stored pricing rules, or otherwise compromise the integrity and financial aspects of the site. The weakness is identified as CWE‑862, representing a missing authorization check.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation that hosts the WC Fields Factory plugin with a version older than 4.1.11 is affected. Sites using WooCommerce or similar systems that rely on custom post meta are particularly at risk, regardless of additional security settings.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 8.1 indicates a severe impact, while an EPSS score under 1% suggests that widespread exploitation has not yet been observed. Although the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalogue, the straightforward attack path available to a legitimate Subscriber user raises the potential for targeted, low‑profile attacks. Immediate patching is advised to eliminate the risk of arbitrary post meta tampering and product price manipulation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the WC Fields Factory plugin to version 4.1.11 or later to remove the access‑control flaw.
  • If an upgrade is not immediately possible, tighten role‑based access to block Subscriber users from the field‑management AJAX endpoint or remove that endpoint entirely from the WordPress REST API routes.
  • Audit the site for any custom code or third‑party plugins that expose or replicate the vulnerable AJAX action, and ensure all such endpoints perform proper authorization checks before permitting post meta changes.
