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

StoreKeeper for WooCommerce plugin versions up to 14.4.4 contain an unrestricted file upload vulnerability allowing attackers to upload dangerous file types (e.g., executable scripts) without proper validation, potentially enabling remote code execution.

MitigationImplement strict file type validation using a whitelist of allowed extensions and MIME types, perform server-side validation, store uploads outside webroot, and disable script execution in upload directories.

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 StoreKeeper for WooCommerce plugin installation
    Check the WordPress plugins directory (typically wp-content/plugins/storekeeper-woocommerce/) or use WP-CLI: wp plugin list --name='storekeeper-woocommerce'
    Affected if The plugin is not present in the WordPress installation
  2. Identify the installed plugin version
    Read the main plugin file header (e.g., storekeeper-woocommerce.php) to find the 'Version:' tag, or run: grep -i 'Version:' wp-content/plugins/storekeeper-woocommerce/*.php | head -5
    Affected if The version number is 14.4.4 or lower (including any 14.x.y version where y <= 4 or any 14.x.x version where x < 4)
  3. Determine if file upload functionality is active
    Check if the StoreKeeper sync or import feature is enabled in WooCommerce settings under StoreKeeper > Settings, or inspect if the upload endpoint exists by checking WooCommerce REST API routes for storekeeper
    Affected if File upload/sync features are enabled and accessible
  4. Inspect the uploads directory for suspicious files
    Examine wp-content/uploads/ and subdirectories for unexpected file extensions such as .php, .phtml, .js, .sh, .asp, .exe, or other executable types that should not be present
    Affected if Any script files (.php, .phtml, etc.) are found in upload directories that were not explicitly authorized

A user is affected if the StoreKeeper for WooCommerce plugin is installed at version 14.4.4 or lower and file upload functionality is enabled, particularly if untrusted executable files are present in upload directories.
