What is CVE-2024-8277?

The WooCommerce Photo Reviews Premium plugin for WordPress contains a security flaw that permits authentication bypass. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.3.13.2. The underlying issue arises from the plugin's failure to adequately validate the user transient within the login() function, leading to significant security risks. Attackers can exploit this weakness to gain unauthorized access as users, particularly those who have dismissed admin notices within a set timeframe. Furthermore, the flaw enables an attacker to utilize any transient linked to a valid user_id for login purposes, although successfully exploiting this scenario may require additional effort and knowledge. Safeguarding your websites that utilize this plugin is critical to prevent unauthorized access and preserve user data integrity.
