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 · low confidence

An information disclosure vulnerability in the Booster Elite for WooCommerce plugin allows unauthorized actors to access sensitive information. The flaw exists in versions prior to 7.1.2 and stems from improper access controls or unprotected endpoints that expose data that should require authentication.

MitigationUpdate Booster Elite for WooCommerce to version 7.1.2 or later to obtain the patched code. Verify the update in a staging environment before deploying to production.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Locate the installed Booster Elite for WooCommerce plugin version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and find 'Booster Elite for WooCommerce' (or 'Booster For Woocommerce'). The version number is displayed below the plugin name. Alternatively, check the plugin file header in wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-jetpack/ or similar booster plugin folder.
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 7.1.2 (e.g., 7.1.1, 7.1.0, etc.)
  2. Confirm the plugin is active on the site
    In WordPress admin under Plugins > Installed Plugins, verify the Booster plugin shows as 'Active'. An inactive plugin may still pose less risk but the vulnerability applies when the plugin is enabled.
    Affected if The plugin is active and the version is below 7.1.2
  3. Check if unauthenticated endpoints are accessible
    Test common Booster module endpoints without authentication. These typically include AJAX actions (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) and API endpoints that certain Booster modules expose. Use a tool like curl to make unauthenticated requests to these URLs and observe if sensitive data is returned.
    Affected if Unauthenticated requests return data that should require login (customer orders, prices, user details, or other WooCommerce sensitive information)
  4. Review server access logs for unusual access patterns
    Examine web server access logs (Apache/Nginx) for requests to Booster-related PHP files from unauthenticated IP addresses, especially repeated requests to endpoints like admin-ajax.php or custom Booster module handlers.
    Affected if Logs show frequent unauthenticated requests to Booster endpoints, especially accessing data that should be restricted

The environment is affected if Booster Elite for WooCommerce is active with a version lower than 7.1.2 and unauthenticated access to sensitive WooCommerce data is possible.
