Description

The Product Import Export for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including 1.7.4 due to missing capability checks on the woocommerce_csv_import_request AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as subscribers, to import products for WooCommerce.
