An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-2179 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WooCommerce Order Status Change Notifier. 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-2023-2179/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2179/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-2179","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2179/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-2179","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g88r-m2f6-9q79"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Low-privilege users can arbitrarily update order statuses due to missing authorization and CSRF checks, allowing unauthorized order modifications.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"woocommerce_order_status_change_notifier","vendor":"woocommerce"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The WooCommerce Order Status Change Notifier WordPress plugin through 1.1.0 does not have authorisation and CSRF when updating status orders via an AJAX action available to any authenticated users, which could allow low privilege users such as subscriber to update arbitrary order status, making them paid without actually paying for them for example","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WooCommerce Order Status Change Notifier \u003c= 1.1.0 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Order Status Update","id":"CVE-2023-2179","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"KIWIZ Invoices Certification \u0026 PDF System \u003c= 2.1.3 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Download","id":"CVE-2023-2180"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Aajoda Testimonials \u003c 2.2.2 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-2178"},"products":["WooCommerce Order Status Change Notifier"],"published":"2023-05-15","related":[],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-24","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Low-privilege users can arbitrarily update order statuses due to missing authorization and CSRF checks, allowing unauthorized order modifications.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2179/"}
