Woo — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 11

Woo is an e-commerce platform enabling businesses to create online stores with payment processing and inventory management. Historically, it has been susceptible to various vulnerabilities including remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and privilege escalation, often stemming from insufficient input validation and insecure default configurations. The platform has faced multiple security incidents, including a 2020 vulnerability affecting over 3 million sites that allowed unauthorized access to customer data. Despite regular security updates, the persistent number of CVEs indicates ongoing challenges in maintaining secure default configurations and proper access controls across its extensive plugin ecosystem.
