Missing Authorization vulnerability in ammarahmad786 Calculate Prices based on Distance For WooCommerce calculate-prices-based-on-distance-for-woocommerce allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Calculate Prices based on Distance For WooCommerce: from n/a through <= 1.3.5.

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 · low confidence

Missing authorization vulnerability in the Calculate Prices based on Distance For WooCommerce plugin allows attackers to access functionality that should require proper authentication and access control. The plugin fails to enforce authorization checks on certain endpoints or functions, potentially enabling unauthorized users to manipulate distance-based shipping calculations.

MitigationUpdate the plugin to the latest version if a patched release is available; otherwise, disable the plugin until a fix is released. Consider restricting access to vulnerable endpoints via web server configuration as a temporary measure.

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 the plugin is installed
    Check your WordPress installation for the Calculate Prices based on Distance For WooCommerce plugin in the wp-content/plugins directory or via the WordPress admin Plugins page
    Affected if The plugin is found installed in the environment
  2. Identify the installed version
    Locate the main plugin file and read the version header (typically found in the plugin comments at the top of the main PHP file), or check the version displayed in the WordPress admin Plugins list
    Affected if The version number cannot be determined or is older than the patched release
  3. Determine if the vulnerable endpoints are exposed
    Identify the plugin AJAX handlers or REST API endpoints it registers (check plugin code for wp_ajax_ and wp_ajax_nopriv_ hooks, or REST route registrations). Test accessing these endpoints without authentication using a tool like curl
    Affected if The endpoints respond to unauthenticated requests and return expected functionality rather than requiring authentication
  4. Check access control on admin functions
    Review the plugin code to identify any functions that perform distance-based shipping calculations or price modifications. Test whether these can be invoked directly via URL without admin privileges
    Affected if The functions execute without verifying user capabilities or session authentication
  5. Inspect capability checks
    Search the plugin source code for current_user_can, wp_get_current_user, or similar WordPress authorization functions around the vulnerable functions identified in the summary
    Affected if No capability checks are found before distance calculation or price manipulation logic

The environment is affected if the plugin is installed and the installed version lacks the authorization fixes, particularly if the vulnerable endpoints are accessible without authentication.
