Description
The Product Specifications for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification, creation, and deletion of data in versions up to and including 0.8.9. This is due to a missing capability check and missing nonce verification in the __invoke() methods of the AttributeGroupController and AttributeController classes, which are bound to the 'dwps_modify_groups' and 'dwps_modify_attributes' AJAX actions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create, edit, and delete arbitrary product specification groups and attributes (taxonomy terms in the 'spec-group' and attribute taxonomies), corrupting business data and impacting the site's frontend display.
