Currency Switcher <= 2.11.1 - Authorization Bypass

6.5
Missing Authorization
CVE CVE-2019-18668
CVSS 6.5 (Medium)
Publicly Published November 2, 2019
Last Updated January 22, 2024
Researcher Luka Sikic

Description

An issue was discovered in the Currency Switcher addon before 2.11.2 for WooCommerce if a user provides a currency that was not added by the administrator. In this case, even though the currency does not exist, it will be selected, but a price amount will fall back to the default currency. This means that if an attacker provides a currency that does not exist and is worth less than this default, the attacker can eventually purchase an item for a significantly cheaper price.
