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 Wiremo WooCommerce reviews plugin allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to properly verify user permissions before allowing access to certain functionality, potentially enabling unauthorized users to access or manipulate review data and settings.

MitigationImplement proper capability checks and authorization verification for all sensitive operations in the plugin, ensuring WordPress user permissions are validated before executing any administrative or data-modifying functions.

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. Identify if Wiremo plugin is installed
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Wiremo' or 'Wiremo WooCommerce Reviews' in the list
    Affected if The plugin is present and activated on the site
  2. Determine installed plugin version
    Click 'View details' on the Wiremo plugin in the WordPress plugins list, or check the plugin header in wp-content/plugins/wiremo-main/plugin.php for the 'Version' tag
    Affected if Version is within an affected range (if known) or cannot be determined for patching purposes
  3. Verify WordPress user role permissions
    Install a user role editor plugin or check wp-users and wp-usermeta tables to list all user roles and their capabilities, specifically looking for roles with administrative or editor access
    Affected if Unexpected users have administrative or editor-level capabilities that should not have review modification access
  4. Test for unauthorized AJAX access
    Use a tool like Burp Suite or curl to send unauthenticated or low-privilege requests to WordPress AJAX endpoints (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php) with wiremo-related actions, checking if sensitive review data is returned
    Affected if AJAX endpoints return review data or allow modifications without requiring authentication or capability verification
  5. Inspect plugin access control configuration
    Check the plugin settings in WordPress admin under WooCommerce > Wiremo Reviews, or inspect the plugin PHP files for 'capability' or 'manage_options' checks around sensitive functions
    Affected if Plugin lacks proper capability checks before executing review data operations

A site is affected if the Wiremo WooCommerce Reviews plugin is installed and allows unauthorized users to access or modify review data due to missing capability verification on sensitive functions
