MakeCommerce for WooCommerce: Broken access control in WordPress plugin
Summary
The MakeCommerce for WooCommerce WordPress plugin up to version 4.1.0 contains a broken access control flaw (CWE-862, missing authorization). According to the CNA record, an authenticated user with the Subscriber role can access functions they should not be allowed to use, which can affect integrity and availability. The Patchstack advisory rates the issue as high priority and expects exploitation, but the CVSS vector (PR:N) and the Subscriber requirement are inconsistent and still need to be verified.
Affected
- MakeCommerce for WooCommerce WordPress plugin version 4.1.0 and earlier (<= 4.1.0)
Fixed in
- Unconfirmed. Patchstack lists 4.1.1 as the patched version, but no vendor advisory confirms this.
Workaround
- No vendor-confirmed workaround.
- Review which accounts have the Subscriber role.
- Disable open self-registration on the WordPress site if it is not needed.
- Check whether the plugin is required at all.
Exploitation
- No evidence of exploitation in the wild found as of the research date.
- No public proof of concept found.
- Not listed in CISA KEV.
- Patchstack states that exploitation is expected; CISA SSVC lists exploitation as none.
Our recommendation
- Check whether the MakeCommerce for WooCommerce plugin is installed and which version is in use.
- Update to the latest version (at least 4.1.1) once confirmed by the vendor or Patchstack, and verify the fix.
- Restrict open registration and review Subscriber accounts.
- Monitor the Patchstack and NVD entries for updates.
Public exploits
PoC-in-GitHub, Metasploit and Exploit-DB list nothing for this CVE.
