What is CVE-2026-14941?

The Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin prior to version 5.116.0 contains a significant security flaw where it fails to implement necessary nonce and capability checks on multiple AJAX actions. This oversight allows users with limited permissions, such as Subscribers, to execute administrative actions that should be restricted. Consequently, attackers can alter plugin settings and gain unauthorized access to sensitive store configuration information, posing a substantial risk to site security.

Affected Version(s)

Customer Reviews for WooCommerce 0 < 5.116.0
