Photo Reviews for WooCommerce: Insecure direct object reference (IDOR)
Summary
Photo Reviews for WooCommerce up to and including version 1.2.30 contains an insecure direct object reference (CWE-639). According to Patchstack, an unauthenticated remote attacker can change an ID in a request and expose other people's data, while the CVSS vector rates only the availability impact (A:H). The attack requires no login and no user interaction, so public WooCommerce shops running the plugin are exposed.
