Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-56272 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ThemeSupport Hide Category by User Role for WooCommerce. 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-2024-56272/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56272/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-56272","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56272/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-56272","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2cjc-6xrh-7w5q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls to view hidden categories in WooCommerce stores using the Hide Category by User Role plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"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-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in ThemeSupport Hide Category by User Role for WooCommerce hide-category-by-user-role-for-woocommerce.This issue affects Hide Category by User Role for WooCommerce: from n/a through \u003c= 2.1.1.","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 Hide Category by User Role for WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 2.1.1 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-56272","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress WPvivid Backup plugin \u003c= 0.9.106 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-56273"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WP SecureSubmit plugin \u003c= 1.5.20 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-56271"},"products":["Hide Category by User Role for WooCommerce"],"published":"2025-01-07","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":["ThemeSupport"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls to view hidden categories in WooCommerce stores using the Hide Category by User Role plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-56272/"}
