Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is a Missing Authorization vulnerability in the TechnoVama Quotes for WooCommerce plugin. The issue allows users to access functionality or data they should not have permission to access, likely due to missing capability checks or role-based access controls on certain plugin functions. This could enable unauthorized viewing, creation, or modification of quotes within the WooCommerce system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed plugin versionNavigate to WordPress Admin > Plugins > Installed Plugins, locate 'Quotes for WooCommerce' or 'Technovama Quotes For Woocommerce', and check the version number displayed under the plugin nameAffected if The displayed version is lower than 2.0.2 (e.g., 2.0.1, 2.0.0, 1.x.x)
-
Locate the plugin filesAccess the WordPress wp-content/plugins directory via FTP or file manager, and locate the folder named 'quotes-for-woocommerce' or similar variant containing 'technovama' in the nameAffected if The plugin folder exists and contains PHP files that handle quote functionality
-
Check quote-related PHP files for capability checksExamine PHP files in the plugin directory (especially those in /includes or /admin folders) that handle quote creation, editing, viewing, or deletion. Look for WordPress capability checks using current_user_can() or WC_Admin or similar authorization functionsAffected if Quote-handling functions lack current_user_can() checks or other authorization validation before executing actions
-
Verify nonce validation on quote actionsInspect PHP files that process form submissions or AJAX requests for quote operations. Look for wp_verify_nonce() or wp_nonce_field() calls on admin and frontend actionsAffected if Form submissions or AJAX handlers for quotes do not validate nonces before processing data
-
Test low-privilege user accessCreate or use a WordPress user with a low role (e.g., Subscriber or Customer) and attempt to access quote-related URLs, admin pages, or AJAX endpoints that should be restricted to administrators or shop managersAffected if A low-privilege user can view, create, modify, or delete quotes without proper authorization errors
Your environment is affected if the Quotes for WooCommerce plugin version is below 2.0.2 AND the plugin handles quote data without proper capability checks or nonce validation.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.0.2
Update Quotes for WooCommerce to the latest version once available, which should include proper authorization checks. If no update exists, implement role-based capability checks on all plugin functions that handle quote data, and verify that WooCommerce nonces and user capability checks are properly enforced on all admin and frontend actions.
Quotes for WooCommerce version 2.0.2
- 1. Backup your WordPress database and files before making any changes.
- 2. Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins.
- 3. Find 'Quotes for WooCommerce' plugin and check for an update.
- 4. If update to version 2.0.2 is available, update the plugin.
- 5. After updating, verify that quote creation and management functionality works correctly.
- 6. Test that unauthorized users can no longer access quote-related actions that should require authentication/authorization.
