CVE-2026-77693

Vulnerability CVE-2026-77693 PLUGIN order-tip-for-woocommerce HIGH

The Order Tip for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 1.6.0 does not check the capability of the user requesting a file deletion, nor does it restrict which path may be deleted, allowing users with the Shop Manager role and above to delete arbitrary files on the server, which could lead to the site being taken over.

What to do about this

Patch promptly The consequence is significant even where an attacker needs a foothold first.

Fix it

Update Order Tip For Woocommerce to 1.6.0 or later.

That is the complete fix. Everything below is what protects you in the meantime.

Cannot update today? Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure blocks this class of attack before WordPress processes the request.

Inspect request parameters and bodies for injection, traversal and file-inclusion payloads, and refuse the request rather than logging it.

Am I affected by this vulnerability?

You are affected if your site runs Order Tip For Woocommerce. Versions below 1.6.0 are vulnerable; that release and later are not.

How do I fix it?

Update Order Tip For Woocommerce to version 1.6.0 or later. That is the complete fix. Until you can update, Request / payload inspection (WAF) in Hack Halt ProSecure contains this class of attack at the request layer.

What can an attacker actually do?

This is a Broken Access Control flaw. An attacker who exploits it can reach actions or data that should have been restricted to someone else.
