CVE-2021-4444: Product Filter by WooBeWoo <= 1.4.9 - Missing Authorization

The Product Filter by WooBeWoo plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including 1.4.9 due to missing authorization checks on various functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to perform unauthorized actions such as creating new filters and injecting malicious javascript into a vulnerable site. This was actively exploited at the time of discovery.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects WordPress sites using Product Filter by WooBeWoo / Product Filter for WooCommerce by WBW at versions up to 1.4.9. Missing authorization checks allowed unauthenticated attackers to make plugin changes, including creating filters and injecting malicious JavaScript into the site. Exposure is likely limited to WordPress installations running the affected WooBeWoo product-filter plugin at or below 1.4.9. Because source metadata is somewhat sparse, confirm the exact installed plugin slug, version, and vendor advisory before closing exposure. Treat this as high priority for any public WordPress estate because unauthenticated attackers could alter site behavior and inject malicious JavaScript. Patch or remove affected installations promptly, then investigate for site tampering. Mitigation focus: Update the plugin beyond 1.4.9 if vendor guidance confirms a fixed release.; Disable or remove the plugin if no supported fixed version is available.; Review vendor, Wordfence, and WordPress plugin guidance for remediation details..
