Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-23981 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: QuadLayers Perfect Brands for WooCommerce (WordPress plugin). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23981/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23981/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-23981","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23981/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-23981","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9f62-99j4-c9m4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Subscribers can create brands in the Perfect Brands for WooCommerce plugin due to missing authorization checks, allowing unauthorized data modification.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"perfect_brands_for_woocommerce","vendor":"quadlayers"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The vulnerability allows Subscriber+ level users to create brands in WordPress Perfect Brands for WooCommerce plugin (versions \u003c= 2.0.4).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Perfect Brands for WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 2.0.4 - Set Featured Brand vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-23981","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Perfect Brands for WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 2.0.4 - Server Information Exposure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-23982"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Yasr – Yet Another Stars Rating plugin \u003c= 2.9.9 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-23980"},"products":["Perfect Brands for WooCommerce (WordPress plugin)"],"published":"2022-02-18","related":[{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WordPress Perfect Brands for WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 2.0.4 - Server Information Exposure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-23982","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["QuadLayers"]},"summary":"Subscribers can create brands in the Perfect Brands for WooCommerce plugin due to missing authorization checks, allowing unauthorized data modification.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23981/"}
