NVD · unedited
Missing Authorization vulnerability in enituretechnology Pallet Packaging for WooCommerce pallet-packaging-for-woocommerce allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Pallet Packaging for WooCommerce: from n/a through <= 1.1.15.

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

This is a missing authorization vulnerability in the enituretechnology Pallet Packaging for WooCommerce plugin (versions up to 1.1.15). The plugin fails to properly enforce access control checks on certain functionality, allowing unauthenticated or improperly authenticated users to access sensitive operations that should be restricted to authorized users only.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to a version beyond 1.1.15 if available, or implement proper capability checks and nonce verification on all admin/privileged functions within the plugin.

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 plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and look for 'Pallet Packaging for WooCommerce' by enituretechnology, or check the filesystem at wp-content/plugins/ for a directory named 'pallet-packaging' or similar enituretechnology pallet-related folder
    Affected if The plugin directory exists in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, click on the plugin name to view details, or read the version from the plugin's main PHP file header (typically plugin.php or index.php inside the plugin directory)
    Affected if The reported version is 1.1.15 or earlier
  3. Verify the plugin is active
    Check the Plugins page in WordPress admin - the plugin should show as 'Active'
    Affected if The plugin is currently active and running
  4. Test for unauthorized access to privileged functions
    Examine the plugin's AJAX handlers (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) and admin pages for proper capability checks - look for current_user_can() or similar authorization calls before executing sensitive operations, or use a security scanner to probe for accessible admin functions without authentication
    Affected if Sensitive plugin functions are accessible without proper capability verification or nonce validation
  5. Review plugin configuration for exposed settings
    Check if the plugin's admin settings pages or API endpoints can be accessed or modified by users lacking administrator privileges, or inspect the plugin's PHP files for missing capability checks before sensitive operations
    Affected if Users with subscriber, customer, or no role can access admin-level plugin functions

You are affected if the enituretechnology Pallet Packaging for WooCommerce plugin is installed and active at version 1.1.15 or earlier, or if the plugin allows unauthorized access to privileged functions regardless of version.
