CVE-2021-25018

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PPOM for WooCommerce WordPress plugin versions prior to 24.0

Description The issue concerns a lack of authorisation and CSRF checks in the ppom settings panel action AJAX action, allowing any authenticated user to call it and set arbitrary settings. This could also lead to Stored XSS issues due to insufficient sanitisation and escaping.

Recommendations For versions prior to 24.0, update to version 24.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ppom settings panel action AJAX action to prevent unauthorised changes to settings. Additionally, restrict the use of the ppom settings panel action function until a patch is available.
