WooCommerce Add to Cart Custom Redirect: Unauthorized modification of data and loss of data

The WooCommerce Add to Cart Custom Redirect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data and loss of data due to a missing capability check on the 'wcr_dismiss_admin_notice' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.13. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor access and above, to update the values of arbitrary site options to 'dismissed'.

Description from the National Vulnerability Database, published by Wordfence

What to do: Affects up to 1.2.13. Update WooCommerce Add to Cart Custom Redirect to the newest version and check its changelog mentions this fix; if there isn’t one yet, deactivate it until there is.

What it means for a small business

WooCommerce Add to Cart Custom Redirect is a WordPress plugin. If your website uses it, the flaw is on your site whether or not anyone has noticed yet: attackers scan the whole internet for the plugins with published flaws, usually within days of a record like this one going public.

Most small-business sites run 15 to 40 plugins, and few owners know the list. You can check from WordPress itself (Plugins, then Installed Plugins), or let our free plugin check look it up by name.
