CVE-2026-122041

CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce (Pro) plugin for WordPress up to and including 3.8.0 is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of arbitrary attachments due to a missing capability/ownership check in the ajax_remove_uploaded() function. The handler is registered for both wp_ajax and wp_ajax_nopriv and gated solely by the 'file_handling_nonce' nonce, which is exposed in the public checkout page markup.

Risk Assessment

Unauthenticated attackers can delete arbitrary attachments, including those belonging to other users or posts, leading to loss of important media and potential denial of service.

Recommendation

Update the plugin to a version later than 3.8.0; until then, consider disabling the file upload checkout field or restricting access to the checkout page.

Original NVD description (English source)

The Checkout Field Editor for WooCommerce (Pro) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized deletion of arbitrary attachments due to a missing capability/ownership check in the ajax_remove_uploaded() function in versions up to, and including, 3.8.0. The handler is registered for both wp_ajax and wp_ajax_nopriv and is gated solely by the 'file_handling_nonce' nonce, which is emitted inside the public checkout page markup (data-nonce attribute) whenever a File Upload checkout field is configured. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary attachments (including those belonging to other users or posts) by submitting a crafted attachment_id, which can lead to loss of important media and potential denial of service.
