Critical Vulnerability Detected in WooCommerce Payments – March 2023

Critical Vulnerability In Woocommerce Image

A Vulnerability Discovered in WooCommerce Payments Could Put Your Store at Risk

On March 22, 2023, a vulnerability was discovered in WooCommerce Payments that could allow unauthorized admin access to impacted stores. While the issue has been mitigated for sites hosted on WordPress.com, Pressable, and WPVIP, those with WooCommerce Payments 4.8.0 and higher installed and activated on their site, that are not hosted on WordPress.com and which have not updated to a patched version, are still potentially vulnerable to this issue.

How to Ensure Your Site is Secure and Up-to-Date

To ensure that your site is secure and up-to-date, check for any available updates from the WP Admin dashboard. Once a secure version has been installed, check for any unexpected admin users or posts on your site, and update passwords for admin users, as well as any Payment Gateway and WooCommerce API keys used on your site. For those who need assistance with the upgrade process, ReVibe Digital offers services to help with WooCommerce upgrades, security hardening, performance optimisation, and more.

WooCommerce Strives to Investigate and Communicate with Customers Quickly

WooCommerce takes the security of their customers’ sites seriously and works diligently to track and patch any vulnerabilities as quickly as possible. They also strive to investigate, act, and communicate with their merchants and customers as quickly as possible. While identifying a new vulnerability is uncommon, WooCommerce recognises the importance of promptly addressing any potential issues to ensure the continued safety of their customers’ sites.

We are running a Joomla website that was several versions down-level, our commercial server service had an issue during a conversion. and we were unable to get into the back-end of our site. Several 'Joomla experts' later it still wasn't fixed. We ran across Revibe Digital and Brett during a Google search and Brett told us he could help us. Brett was true to his word and our website was up and running again. We were amazed at how quickly he fixed the site, it's not easy when you are a half a world away to coordinate passwords and others parameters. Brett also treated us like we were family when it came to the billing for his work. I was blown away at how reasonable his charges were. If you are looking for an extremely competent Software Engineer that knows his product line then look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend you contact Brett at Revibe Digital no matter where in the world you reside. Thank you very much Brett.

Great work! We hired Revibe to finish up a Joomla project begun by another firm that was not going well. With a minimum of direction, they jumped in right away and took care of all outstanding tasks, exactly as we asked for. It was quite a thrill to watch a firm move so quickly and understand what was needed with only two emails of explanation. In addition, pricing was very fair. Our only regret is that we didn't start with Revibe to begin with. Highly recommended!
