## What is CVE-2026-9235?

CVE-2026-9235 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in dhlparcel DHL eCommerce (Benelux) for WooCommerce, published on 9 Jul 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

The DHL eCommerce (Benelux) for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification and loss of data due to a missing capability check and missing nonce verification on the create_label() and delete_label() functions in versions up to, and including, 2.2.3. These functions are wired to the wp_ajax_dhlpwc_label_create and wp_ajax_dhlpwc_label_delete hooks and act on an attacker-supplied post_id (WooCommerce order ID). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create or delete DHL shipping labels associated with any WooCommerce order on the site.
