WordPress · Woocommerce Smart Coupons · CVE-2020-36841
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WooCommerce Smart Coupons plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 4.6.0
**Description**
The issue is related to authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the `woocommerce coupon admin init` function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to send themselves gift certificates of any value, which could be redeemed for products sold on the victim’s storefront.
**Recommendations**
For versions up to, and including, 4.6.0, update to the latest version to mitigate risks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `woocommerce coupon admin init` function until a patch is available. Ensure your site is updated to the latest version and apply all recommended security patches to protect against coupon creation exploits.
