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 · unedited
The Get Quote For Woocommerce – Request A Quote For Woocommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of Quote data due to a missing capability check on the ct_tepfw_wp_loaded function in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to download Quote PDF and CSV documents.

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 confidence

The Get Quote For Woocommerce plugin has a missing capability check on the ct_tepfw_wp_loaded function, allowing unauthenticated attackers to directly access and download quote PDF and CSV documents without any authentication or authorization.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to a version beyond 1.0.0 that includes proper capability checks, or implement web server-level access restrictions as a temporary measure while investigating the fix.

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. Identify if the Get Quote For Woocommerce plugin is installed
    Check the wp-content/plugins/ directory for a folder matching 'get-quote-for-woocommerce' or inspect the WordPress plugins admin page for this plugin
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in wp-content/plugins/
  2. Check the installed plugin version
    Open the main plugin PHP file or readme.txt in the plugin directory and locate the Version header
    Affected if The version is below or unknown, and the fixed version 1.0.0 or higher is not confirmed
  3. Locate the vulnerable ct_tepfw_wp_loaded function
    Search within the plugin files for the string 'ct_tepfw_wp_loaded' using grep or a file search utility
    Affected if The function exists and contains action or filter hooks without a capability check (such as current_user_can) before processing requests
  4. Test unauthenticated access to quote documents
    Attempt to access a known quote download URL pattern (such as /?ct_tepfw_download=pdf or /?ct_tepfw_download=csv) in a browser or via curl without being logged in
    Affected if The PDF or CSV file downloads successfully without any authentication prompt or 401/403 error
  5. Verify access controls on quote download endpoints
    Inspect the code handling the download request, looking for permission verification logic before file delivery
    Affected if No current_user_can or similar authorization check is found before serving the file content

If the plugin is installed and its version is below 1.0.0 or unverified, and unauthenticated access to quote PDFs or CSVs is possible, the environment is affected by CVE-2024-9430.
