CVE-2024-50509
CVE-2024-50509 is a path traversal vulnerability in the Chetan Khandla Woocommerce Product Design plugin, affecting versions up to 1.0.0. This flaw allows attackers to bypass directory restrictions and potentially access sensitive files or execute arbitrary code on the server. Despite a CVSS score of 0, indicating minimal base severity, the 'In The Wild' tag suggests active exploitation. The SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30 suggests that while not immediately critical, the vulnerability warrants monitoring. Successful exploitation could lead to data breaches and system compromise. The risk is amplified by the plugin's use in e-commerce environments, making it an attractive target for malicious actors seeking to gain unauthorized access and manipulate product data or customer information. Woocommerce Product Design users should update to a patched version or implement mitigations to secure their systems against potential attacks leveraging this vulnerability. Due to its presence 'In The Wild', the potential impact of this issue may be higher than indicated by the low CVSS score.
