CVE-2026-24992: WooCommerce Reporting Information Disclosure

CVE-2026-24992 Overview

CVE-2026-24992 is a Sensitive Data Exposure vulnerability affecting the WPFactory Advanced WooCommerce Product Sales Reporting plugin (webd-woocommerce-advanced-reporting-statistics) for WordPress. The vulnerability stems from the insertion of sensitive information into sent data, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve embedded sensitive data from WooCommerce stores using the affected plugin.

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-201 (Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data), indicating that the plugin inadvertently includes sensitive information in data transmitted to users or external systems without proper authorization checks.

Critical Impact

Unauthenticated attackers can remotely extract sensitive business data including sales reports, customer information, and product statistics from vulnerable WooCommerce installations without requiring any authentication or user interaction.

Affected Products

• WPFactory Advanced WooCommerce Product Sales Reporting versions up to and including 4.1.2
• WordPress installations running the webd-woocommerce-advanced-reporting-statistics plugin
• WooCommerce stores utilizing the Advanced Reporting Statistics functionality

Technical Details for CVE-2026-24992

Vulnerability Analysis

This vulnerability represents a Sensitive Data Exposure issue in the Advanced WooCommerce Product Sales Reporting plugin. The flaw allows attackers to access confidential business intelligence data that should only be available to authenticated administrators.

The vulnerability is exploitable over the network without requiring authentication, user interaction, or special privileges. While the scope is unchanged (meaning the vulnerability only affects the vulnerable component itself), the confidentiality impact allows unauthorized disclosure of sensitive sales and reporting data.

WordPress e-commerce sites running WooCommerce with this plugin are particularly at risk, as the exposed data could include:

• Sales transaction details and revenue figures
• Customer purchasing patterns and statistics
• Product performance metrics and inventory data
• Business analytics that could provide competitive advantage to attackers

Root Cause

The root cause of CVE-2026-24992 lies in improper access control within the plugin's data handling mechanisms. The plugin fails to properly validate user authorization before including sensitive reporting data in responses. This CWE-201 violation occurs when the application embeds confidential information into data structures that are subsequently transmitted without adequate permission verification.

The plugin's reporting endpoints or data serialization routines do not properly restrict access, allowing sensitive sales information to be retrieved by unauthorized parties through network requests.

Attack Vector

The attack vector for this vulnerability is network-based, requiring no authentication or user interaction. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by:

1. Identifying WordPress installations running the vulnerable plugin through fingerprinting techniques
2. Sending crafted requests to the plugin's reporting endpoints
3. Extracting sensitive sales and customer data from the responses

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by any attacker with network access to the targeted WordPress site. Since no privileges are required and the attack complexity is low, this represents a straightforward exploitation path for data theft.

Due to the nature of this vulnerability, technical exploitation details involve accessing plugin endpoints that expose sensitive data without proper authorization checks. For detailed technical information, refer to the Patchstack Vulnerability Report.

Detection Methods for CVE-2026-24992

Indicators of Compromise

• Unusual access patterns to WooCommerce reporting endpoints from external IP addresses
• Unexpected requests to plugin-specific URLs associated with webd-woocommerce-advanced-reporting-statistics
• Large data transfers or repeated queries to reporting functionality without corresponding admin session activity
• Access logs showing requests to reporting endpoints without associated WordPress authentication cookies

Detection Strategies

• Monitor web server access logs for requests to the Advanced WooCommerce Product Sales Reporting plugin endpoints from unauthenticated sessions
• Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and alert on suspicious access patterns to reporting functionality
• Review WordPress audit logs for data access events that occur without corresponding admin login events
• Deploy endpoint detection solutions that can identify abnormal data exfiltration patterns from WooCommerce installations

Monitoring Recommendations

• Enable detailed logging for all WooCommerce reporting plugin activities and regularly review for anomalies
• Set up alerts for high-volume requests to reporting endpoints, especially from non-admin IP ranges
• Implement rate limiting on sensitive reporting endpoints to detect and mitigate reconnaissance activities
• Consider deploying SentinelOne Singularity for comprehensive endpoint monitoring that can detect exploitation attempts and data exfiltration in real-time

How to Mitigate CVE-2026-24992

Immediate Actions Required

• Identify all WordPress installations running the Advanced WooCommerce Product Sales Reporting plugin version 4.1.2 or earlier
• Temporarily disable the webd-woocommerce-advanced-reporting-statistics plugin until a patched version is available or confirmed installed
• Review access logs for potential exploitation attempts and identify any unauthorized data access
• Implement additional access controls at the web server or WAF level to restrict access to reporting endpoints

Patch Information

Check for updates to the Advanced WooCommerce Product Sales Reporting plugin through the WordPress plugin repository or the vendor's official channels. Update to a version newer than 4.1.2 that addresses this sensitive data exposure vulnerability. For the latest security information, consult the Patchstack Vulnerability Report.

Workarounds

• Disable the Advanced WooCommerce Product Sales Reporting plugin entirely until a patch is applied
• Implement IP-based access restrictions to limit who can access the WordPress admin and plugin endpoints
• Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to block unauthorized requests to reporting functionality
• Consider using .htaccess or nginx configuration to restrict access to sensitive plugin directories

# Apache .htaccess configuration to restrict plugin access
# Add to WordPress root .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    # Block direct access to plugin reporting endpoints
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} webd-woocommerce-advanced-reporting [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !wordpress_logged_in [NC]
    RewriteRule .* - [F,L]
</IfModule>
