Who should care

Defenders responsible for WordPress installations using the Product Feed for Google Shopping, Microsoft Advertising and 40+ Channels for WooCommerce Merchant plugin should assess exposure and prioritize verification and remediation.

Why it matters

Defenders should care about CVE-2026-87968 because it allows unauthenticated forced store registration and overwrite of stored shop secret in the Product Feed for Google Shopping, Microsoft Advertising and 40+ Channels for WooCommerce Merchant WordPress plugin before 5.3.2, potentially leading to unauthorized access and data tampering.

• Unauthenticated forced store registration could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive store information
• Overwrite of stored shop secret could result in data tampering or exposure

Technical summary

The Product Feed for Google Shopping, Microsoft Advertising and 40+ Channels for WooCommerce Merchant WordPress plugin before 5.3.2 does not perform a nonce or capability check on the AJAX action that registers the store with its feed service, allowing any visitor to force the store to re-register and overwrite the stored shop secret. This could lead to unauthorized access and data tampering. The plugin's failure to validate requests allows unauthenticated users to trigger the store registration process, potentially resulting in security risks. Defenders should prioritize verifying the version of the plugin and upgrading to version 5.3.2 or later if necessary.
