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

Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Free Woocommerce Product Table View plugin allows unauthenticated attackers to access functionality or data that should require proper access control checks. The CVSS 5.4 indicates network-exploitable with low complexity, likely affecting an AJAX endpoint or admin function lacking capability checks.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to the latest version once available and audit all admin and AJAX actions for proper capability checks and nonce validation.

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 plugin installation
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins and locate 'Free Woocommerce Product Table View' or check wp-content/plugins/ for the plugin folder
    Affected if The plugin is installed and active in WordPress
  2. Identify installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin > Plugins, click on the plugin to view its version details, or inspect the main plugin PHP file for a 'Version:' header comment
    Affected if The version number is lower than the fixed version released after this CVE (no specific version provided; any pre-fix version is considered vulnerable)
  3. Inspect AJAX endpoints for missing capability checks
    Review the plugin's main PHP file(s) for add_action('wp_ajax_*) calls and check if any lack current_user_can() or nonce validation checks before executing sensitive operations
    Affected if AJAX handlers respond to requests without verifying user authentication or authorization
  4. Check admin actions for authorization
    Search the plugin code for add_action('admin_*') or other admin hooks and verify they include proper capability checks (such as current_user_can('manage_woocommerce'))
    Affected if Admin functions execute without verifying the user has required permissions
  5. Test unauthenticated access to plugin functions
    Using a tool like Burp Suite or curl, send requests to known plugin AJAX endpoints (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=*) without providing authentication cookies
    Affected if The plugin responds to unauthenticated requests with sensitive data or performs actions that should require admin privileges

If the plugin is installed and the version is below the patched release, or if AJAX/admin endpoints respond without proper authorization checks, the environment is affected by this vulnerability.
