Missing Authorization vulnerability in Devteam HaywoodTech Product Rearrange for WooCommerce products-rearrange-woocommerce allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Product Rearrange for WooCommerce: from n/a through <= 1.2.2.

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

The Product Rearrange for WooCommerce plugin (versions up to 1.2.2) contains a Missing Authorization vulnerability where access control checks are not properly enforced on certain functionality. This allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels, potentially enabling unauthorized users to manipulate product ordering and other administrative functions without proper authentication or authorization.

MitigationUpdate to the latest version of Product Rearrange for WooCommerce when available, or implement proper capability checks and nonce validation on all sensitive endpoints until a patched version is released.

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 Product Rearrange for WooCommerce is installed
    Check the WordPress plugins directory (wp-content/plugins/) for a folder named 'product-rearrange-for-woocommerce' or similar, or query the wp_options table for the active_plugins list
    Affected if The plugin folder exists in the WordPress installation and is activated in the Plugins admin page
  2. Determine the installed plugin version
    Read the main plugin file header (usually product-rearrange-for-woocommerce.php) and locate the 'Version' comment, or check the WordPress plugins admin page for the installed version
    Affected if The version is 1.2.2 or any version lower than 1.2.2 (the vulnerability affects versions up to and including 1.2.2)
  3. Confirm WooCommerce is active
    Check that WooCommerce is installed and activated, since this is a WooCommerce-dependent plugin; verify in Plugins admin or query wp_options for active_plugins containing 'woocommerce'
    Affected if WooCommerce is active and the Product Rearrange plugin is also active - the vulnerability only applies in this combined state
  4. Inspect main plugin file for capability checks
    Open the primary plugin PHP file and search for function calls like 'current_user_can', 'check_admin_referer', 'wp_verify_nonce', or 'capability' near sensitive functions that handle product reordering
    Affected if No capability checks (like current_user_can('manage_woocommerce')) are found before sensitive operations, indicating missing authorization
  5. Check AJAX handlers for authorization
    Locate AJAX action hooks (add_action('wp_ajax_...')) in the plugin files and verify whether they include nonce validation or capability checks before processing requests
    Affected if AJAX endpoints that modify product ordering lack nonce verification or current_user_can() checks, allowing unauthorized access

If Product Rearrange for WooCommerce is installed at version 1.2.2 or below and WooCommerce is active, the environment is likely affected by this missing authorization vulnerability.
