Advanced Woo Labels – Product Labels & Badges for WooCommerce: Contributor label creation bypasses capability checks

The Advanced Woo Labels – Product Labels & Badges for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to an improperly secure capability check on the 'save_meta_boxes' function in all versions up to, and including, 2.51. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to create AWS labels that are rendered without proper escaping. The vulnerability was partially patched in version 2.46.

What to do

Update, patch or deactivate.

No confirmed fixed release is identified. Disable the affected feature or deactivate the component until an upstream fix is confirmed. Upstream 2.52 is available and may resolve this issue, but its changelog does not clearly establish a matching fix; it is not marked safe here. Enforce server-side capability and per-object authorization checks before disclosing or changing protected data.

No confirmed safe version is listed. Consider a vendor-supported patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality while you assess the risk.

Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
