Description

The EAN for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.2 via the the 'alg_wc_ean_product_meta' shortcode due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to expose potentially sensitive post metadata.

Affected products

• WPFactory EAN for WooCommerce: before 4.9.3 — fixed in 4.9.3

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: WPFactory EAN for WooCommerce 4.9.3. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
