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 TI WooCommerce Wishlist plugin before version 2.9.3 contains an unrestricted file upload vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files, including malicious web shells, to the web server. This enables complete remote code execution on the affected WordPress/WooCommerce installation.

MitigationUpdate to TI WooCommerce Wishlist version 2.9.3 or later which patches the unrestricted file upload vulnerability. Additionally, implement proper file type validation, store uploads outside the web root, disable script execution in upload directories, and review user access controls.

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 TI WooCommerce Wishlist plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and look for 'TI WooCommerce Wishlist' in the list of active plugins
    Affected if The plugin appears in the installed plugins list
  2. Identify the installed version of the plugin
    In the Plugins list, find the TI WooCommerce Wishlist entry and locate the version number displayed beneath the plugin name
    Affected if The displayed version number is lower than 2.9.3 (for example, 2.9.2, 2.9.1, 2.8.x, etc.)
  3. Verify the upload functionality is accessible
    Check if the wishlist plugin's file upload endpoint is reachable; typical paths include /wp-content/plugins/ti-woocommerce-wishlist/ or similar; attempt to access upload-related AJAX actions or endpoints using a browser or curl
    Affected if The upload functionality endpoint responds without authentication errors or returns a valid upload form/handler
  4. Inspect upload directories for suspicious files
    Search the wp-content/uploads/ directory (and any subdirectories created by the wishlist plugin) for files with extensions such as .php, .phtml, .phar, or .phpt that were recently modified; use file search commands like find or inspect via FTP/file manager
    Affected if Unexpected PHP files or other executable scripts are found in upload directories, especially if they were created recently and contain suspicious code

A user is affected if the TI WooCommerce Wishlist plugin is installed with a version lower than 2.9.3 and the upload functionality is accessible to authenticated users.
