Missing Authorization vulnerability in enituretechnology Standard Box Sizes – for WooCommerce standard-box-sizes.This issue affects Standard Box Sizes – for WooCommerce: from n/a through <= 1.6.13.

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 Standard Box Sizes WooCommerce plugin. The flaw allows unauthenticated or unauthorized users to potentially access or modify shipping box size configurations without proper capability checks, likely through exposed AJAX endpoints or admin actions lacking authorization validation.

MitigationUpdate the Standard Box Sizes – for WooCommerce plugin to the latest version beyond 1.6.13, which should contain proper authorization controls. Review and enforce capability checks and nonce validation on all sensitive functions.

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 plugin installation
    Check the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for a folder containing 'standard-box-sizes' or 'eniture' related to box sizes. Identify the main plugin PHP file and read its header for the Version field.
    Affected if The plugin folder exists and contains the Standard Box Sizes plugin files.
  2. Determine the installed version
    Open the main plugin file and locate the 'Version:' header comment, or check the WordPress plugin admin page for the installed version number.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.6.13 or lower.
  3. Inspect AJAX endpoints for authorization
    Search plugin PHP files for 'add_action' calls registering AJAX actions (both 'wp_ajax_' and 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' prefixes). Examine whether these handlers include capability checks (current_user_can, check_admin_referer, wp_verify_nonce) before executing sensitive operations.
    Affected if AJAX endpoints exist that process box size configurations without capability or nonce validation checks.
  4. Verify admin action handlers
    Search for 'add_action' calls on admin_init, admin_post, or similar admin hooks that handle box size submissions. Review if these handlers verify user capabilities or nonce tokens before saving configuration changes.
    Affected if Admin action handlers process box size configuration saves without proper authorization validation.
  5. Test unauthenticated access (if safe to do so)
    If you have a staging environment, attempt to access common plugin AJAX endpoints (check plugin for action names like 'save_box_size', 'update_box', or similar) without providing authentication credentials or nonce tokens.
    Affected if Requests to box configuration endpoints succeed without authentication.

You are affected if the Standard Box Sizes plugin is installed at version 1.6.13 or lower, or if the plugin lacks capability checks and nonce validation on its AJAX or admin action handlers that manage box size configurations.
