NVD · unedited
Missing Authorization vulnerability in Pluggabl Booster for WooCommerce woocommerce-jetpack allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Booster for WooCommerce: from n/a through < 7.11.3.

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

A Missing Authorization vulnerability in the Booster for WooCommerce plugin (versions before 7.11.3) allows attackers to exploit incorrectly configured access control security levels. The plugin fails to properly validate user permissions before allowing access to certain functionality, potentially permitting unauthorized users to perform actions they should not have access to.

MitigationUpgrade Booster for WooCommerce to version 7.11.3 or later to receive the authorization fix. Until then, restrict administrative access and monitor for suspicious admin actions.

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 Booster for WooCommerce is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin > Plugins or inspect the wp-content/plugins/booster-for-woocommerce directory to confirm the plugin is present
    Affected if the plugin is not installed or has been removed entirely
  2. Check installed plugin version
    In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins > Booster for WooCommerce and read the version number from the plugin header, or open the main plugin file (e.g., booster-for-woocommerce.php) and locate the 'Version' comment
    Affected if the version number is below 7.11.3 (e.g., 7.11.2, 7.10.0, etc.)
  3. Identify access control security level settings
    In WooCommerce > Booster Settings, locate modules related to Security, Access, or User Roles. Look for settings labeled 'Security Level', 'Access Control', 'Allowed User Roles', or similar permission-related options
    Affected if any security level or access control module is enabled with permissive settings (e.g., allowing non-administrator roles to access admin functions)
  4. Review user role changes or permission escalations
    Check WordPress users > All Users for unexpected role assignments, or review activity logs if available for recent changes to user capabilities or new administrative accounts
    Affected if unauthorized role changes exist or suspicious admin accounts were created recently

You are affected if Booster for WooCommerce is installed with a version below 7.11.3 AND you have access control or security level settings enabled in the plugin that could allow unauthorized users to perform privileged actions
