CVE-2024-6506
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedInformation exposure vulnerability in the MRW plugin, in its 5.4.3 version, affecting the "mrw_log" functionality. This vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to obtain other customers' order information and access sensitive information such as name and phone number. This vulnerability also allows an attacker to create or overwrite shipping labels.
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 confidenceThe MRW plugin v5.4.3 contains an access control vulnerability in the 'mrw_log' functionality that allows remote attackers to bypass authorization checks and access other customers' order information, including sensitive PII such as names and phone numbers. The vulnerability also permits unauthorized creation or overwriting of shipping labels, indicating broken object-level authorization (IDOR) in the affected endpoint.

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 MRW plugin installation and versionLocate the MRW plugin files in your CMS/plugin directory and check the main plugin file for the version declaration, or query the plugin management interface if availableAffected if The installed version is 5.4.3 or falls within the affected version range around 5.4.3
-
Verify mrw_log functionality is presentSearch the plugin codebase for files or functions named 'mrw_log' or similar patterns indicating the logging/endpoint functionality described in the CVEAffected if The mrw_log functionality exists in the installed plugin version
-
Check if the mrw_log endpoint is accessible without authenticationAttempt to access the mrw_log endpoint directly via HTTP request (check common paths like /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=mrw_log or similar) without providing valid session credentialsAffected if The endpoint responds without requiring authentication or returns order data for other customers
-
Test for broken object-level authorization (IDOR)If authenticated as one customer, attempt to modify request parameters (such as order IDs or customer identifiers) in mrw_log requests to access or modify data belonging to a different customer accountAffected if Requests succeed with manipulated identifiers, exposing other customers' PII or allowing unauthorized label creation
You are affected if the MRW plugin version 5.4.3 is installed and the mrw_log endpoint is accessible without proper authorization checks, allowing cross-customer data access or unauthorized label operations.

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.
From vendor dataImmediately restrict access to the mrw_log functionality and implement proper authentication and authorization checks to ensure users can only access their own data. If a patched version is available, upgrade promptly; otherwise, disable the affected functionality until a fix can be developed.
