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

Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Build Private Store For WooCommerce plugin allows unauthenticated or unauthorized users to access functionality intended for restricted users due to incorrectly configured access control. The plugin fails to properly verify user capabilities before executing sensitive operations.

MitigationImplement proper capability checks and authorization validation on all sensitive plugin functions and AJAX endpoints using WordPress capability functions (e.g., current_user_can()) to ensure only authorized users can access private store features.

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. Verify Build Private Store For WooCommerce plugin is installed
    Check the WordPress plugins directory for the plugin files. Common paths: /wp-content/plugins/build-private-store-for-woocommerce/ or search for 'build-private-store' in wp-content/plugins/. You can also check via WP CLI: wp plugin list --search='*private*store*'
    Affected if Plugin is installed and active on the WordPress site
  2. Inspect AJAX handlers for missing capability checks
    Examine the main plugin PHP file and look for add_action calls registering AJAX actions (like wp_ajax_). Verify each handler function includes a current_user_can() check before executing sensitive operations. Check both wp_ajax_ and wp_ajax_nopriv_ endpoints.
    Affected if AJAX endpoints exist without current_user_can() verification before sensitive operations
  3. Check admin menu and page callbacks for authorization
    Review add_action calls for admin_menu or admin_init. Verify that callback functions performing sensitive operations (creating stores, modifying settings, managing users) include current_user_can() or similar capability checks.
    Affected if Admin functions lack capability verification before executing privileged operations
  4. Examine class initialization and constructor authorization
    If the plugin uses classes for functionality, check __construct or init methods for capability validation. Look for any public methods that modify store settings, user access, or WooCommerce data without authorization checks.
    Affected if Class methods handling sensitive store operations have no authorization logic

User is affected if the Build Private Store For WooCommerce plugin is installed and any sensitive AJAX endpoints, admin callbacks, or store management functions lack current_user_can() capability verification before executing operations.
