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 ilGhera Support System for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'delete_single_ticket_callback' and 'change_ticket_status_callback' functions in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.6. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to delete arbitrary support tickets and modify their status.

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 · high confidence

The ilGhera Support System for WooCommerce plugin lacks proper capability checks on two AJAX callback functions ('delete_single_ticket_callback' and 'change_ticket_status_callback'). These functions handle ticket deletion and status modification but do not verify if the authenticated user has appropriate permissions. Since WordPress Subscriber-level accounts can access these endpoints, any authenticated user can delete arbitrary tickets or change their status, leading to data loss and unauthorized data modification.

MitigationUpdate to version 1.2.7 or later which includes proper capability checks. The vendor should enforce authorization checks (e.g., current_user_can('manage_options')) on both vulnerable AJAX callbacks before processing ticket operations.

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. Confirm the ilGhera Support System for WooCommerce plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin Plugins page and locate 'ilGhera Support System for WooCommerce' in the installed plugins list, or check for the plugin directory in wp-content/plugins
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    On the Plugins page, click on the plugin to view its details, or inspect the main plugin file (usually iss-ticket-system.php or similar) for the 'Version' header in the plugin comments
    Affected if The version displayed is lower than 1.2.7 or cannot be determined (unknown)
  3. Verify AJAX endpoint accessibility for unauthenticated or low-privilege users
    Use a browser or curl to test access to the AJAX endpoints (typically wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=delete_single_ticket and wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=change_ticket_status) using a Subscriber-level account or no authentication
    Affected if Requests to these AJAX actions return successful responses without requiring higher privileges
  4. Inspect callback functions for capability checks in the plugin code
    Locate the plugin PHP files containing 'delete_single_ticket_callback' and 'change_ticket_status_callback' functions and verify if they include a capability check such as 'current_user_can('manage_options')' or similar before processing the request
    Affected if The callback functions do not contain any current_user_can() check or equivalent authorization verification

You are affected if the ilGhera Support System for WooCommerce plugin is installed with a version lower than 1.2.7 and the AJAX callbacks for ticket deletion and status changes are accessible to users without proper administrative capabilities.
