Technical summary

The File Uploads Addon for WooCommerce WordPress plugin through 1.7.6 stores customer-uploaded files in a publicly web-accessible uploads directory. The access restriction generated by the plugin is ineffective, allowing an unauthenticated attacker who knows or guesses a file's name to retrieve customer-uploaded files directly.

• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
