Technical details
The WCFM – Frontend Manager for WooCommerce plugin is vulnerable to an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) flaw due to missing validation on user-supplied object IDs within several AJAX actions. Specifically, the `wcfm_modify_order_status`, `delete_wcfm_article`, and `delete_wcfm_product` functions, along with the article management controller, fail to verify if the requesting user has ownership or authorization over the target ID. An authenticated attacker with Vendor-level privileges can exploit this by sending crafted AJAX requests to modify the status of any order or delete/modify any post, product, or page across the entire WordPress installation. The vulnerability is present in all versions up to and including 6.7.25.
