CVE-2026-11568
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Product Configurator for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 1.7.3 does not perform any authorisation or post-status check before returning WooCommerce product data through a public AJAX action, allowing unauthenticated users to retrieve the data (title, price, weight, stock status, and configurator option pricing/SKUs) of private and draft, non-public products by supplying the product ID. WordPress post-visibility controls are bypassed.
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 confidenceThe Product Configurator for WooCommerce plugin before version 1.7.3 exposes a public AJAX action that returns WooCommerce product data without any authorization checks or validation of post visibility status. Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve sensitive product information (titles, prices, weights, stock status, and configurator pricing/SKUs) including private and draft products by simply supplying a product ID, bypassing WordPress's built-in post-visibility 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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Product Configurator for WooCommerce is installedLocate the plugin in WordPress wp-content/plugins directory or check via WordPress admin plugins listAffected if The plugin is present in the installation
-
Check installed plugin versionInspect the main plugin file header or view version in WordPress admin plugin list; compare to 1.7.3Affected if Version is below 1.7.3 or version cannot be determined (indicating an unpatched old installation)
-
Confirm AJAX endpoint accessibilityIdentify and test any public AJAX actions exposed by the plugin (typically found in plugin PHP files via wp_ajax or wp_ajax_nopriv hooks); attempt a request without authenticationAffected if The plugin exposes an AJAX endpoint callable without authentication
-
Verify unauthorized product data retrievalSubmit a request to the exposed AJAX endpoint with a product ID (including private or draft products if possible) and observe whether product data is returned without authorizationAffected if Product information is returned without requiring authentication or validating post visibility status
A user is affected if the Product Configurator for WooCommerce plugin is installed with a version below 1.7.3 and exposes a callable AJAX endpoint that returns product data to unauthenticated users without checking authorization or post visibility status.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the Product Configurator for WooCommerce plugin to version 1.7.3 or later, which implements proper authorization and post-status validation. Until patched, consider disabling the affected AJAX endpoint or restricting access via server-side configuration.
1.7.3
- Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard
- Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Locate 'Product Configurator for WooCommerce'
- Check the current version installed
- If the version is below 1.7.3, click 'Update Now' to upgrade to version 1.7.3
