Received Received - Intake

Authorization Bypass in WCFM WooCommerce Frontend Manager

Publication date: 2026-07-11

Last updated on: 2026-07-11

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 6.7.27. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary reply content into any store inquiry, overwrite the main inquiry record in wp_wcfm_enquiries, and trigger unsolicited notification emails to customers and vendors. Unlike sibling controller branches (wcfm-enquiry and wcfm-enquiry-manage), the wcfm-my-account-enquiry-manage branch performs no is_user_logged_in() or current_user_can() check, and the nonce that serves as the sole barrier is embedded into every public page load without any login gate.

Executive Summary

The WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress has an authorization bypass vulnerability in all versions up to and including 6.7.27. This happens because the plugin does not properly verify if a user is authorized to perform certain actions.

Specifically, one branch of the plugin (wcfm-my-account-enquiry-manage) does not check if a user is logged in or has the correct permissions, relying only on a nonce that is publicly available on every page load without requiring login.

As a result, unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary reply content into any store inquiry, overwrite the main inquiry record in the database table wp_wcfm_enquiries, and trigger unsolicited notification emails to customers and vendors.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow attackers who are not logged in to manipulate store inquiries by injecting arbitrary replies and overwriting inquiry records.

It can also cause unsolicited notification emails to be sent to customers and vendors, potentially leading to confusion, misinformation, or phishing risks.

Overall, it compromises the integrity of store inquiry data and can disrupt communication between the store and its users.

Compliance Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary reply content into store inquiries, overwrite inquiry records, and trigger unsolicited notification emails. This unauthorized access and manipulation of data could potentially lead to violations of data protection and privacy regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA, which require strict controls over personal data access and integrity.

However, the provided information does not explicitly discuss the impact on compliance with these standards or regulations.
