Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in YITH WooCommerce Wishlist Plugin up to 4.10.0 on WordPress. Affected by this vulnerability is some unknown functionality of the file /wp-json/yith/wishlist/v1/lists of the component AJAX Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authorization vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-639. The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The YITH WooCommerce Wishlist plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.10.0. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform actions on the REST API /wp-json/yith/wishlist/v1/lists endpoint (which uses permission_callback => '__return_true') and the AJAX delete_item handler (which only checks nonce validity without verifying object-level authorization). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to disclose wishlist tokens for any user and subsequently delete wishlist items by chaining the REST API authorization bypass with the exposed delete_item nonce on shared wishlist pages and the AJAX handler's missing object-level authorization check.

It is possible to read the advisory at wordfence.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2025-12777. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely.
