On May 29, 2023, our Wordfence Threat Intelligence team identified and began the responsible disclosure process for an Authentication Bypass vulnerability in Tyche Softwares’s Abandoned Cart Lite for WooCommerce plugin, which is actively installed on more than 30,000 WordPress websites. This vulnerability makes it possible for an attacker to gain access to the accounts of users who have abandoned their carts, who are typically customers but can extend to other high-level users when the right conditions are met.

Wordfence Premium, Wordfence Care, and Wordfence Response users received a firewall rule to protect against any exploits targeting this vulnerability on June 7, 2023. Sites still using the free version of Wordfence will receive the same protection on July 7, 2023.

We contacted Tyche Softwares on May 30, 2023, and received a response the next day. After providing full disclosure details, the developer released a patch on June 6, 2023. We would like to commend the Tyche Softwares development team for their prompt response and timely patch.
