Descriptions

The logging system of the Automattic WooCommerce plugin before 3.4.6 for WordPress is vulnerable to a File Deletion vulnerability. This allows deletion of woocommerce.php, which leads to certain privilege checks not being in place, and therefore a shop manager can escalate privileges to admin.

El sistema de registros del plugin Automattic WooCommerce, en versiones anteriores a la 3.4.6 para WordPress, es vulnerable a la eliminación de archivos. Esto permite la eliminación de woocommerce.php, lo que conduce a que no existan ciertas comprobaciones de privilegios y, por lo tanto, un gerente de tienda puede escalar privilegios a administrador.
