Advisory
Source description from Wordfence Intelligence, credited to Krzysztof Zając.
The WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to an insufficient capability check on the /wc/v2/products/ REST API in versions up to, and including, 6.2.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions such as a subscriber to delete, edit, and read arbitrary comments and reviews.
