Product Import Export for WooCommerce <= 1.7.4 - Missing Authorization to CSV Import
The Product Import Export for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to, and including 1.7.4 due to missing capability checks on the woocommerce_csv_import_request AJAX action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with minimal permissions, such as subscribers, to import products for WooCommerce.
