Automattic · Woocommerce · CVE-2017-17058
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WooCommerce plugin versions 3.x
**Description**
The issue concerns a Directory Traversal vulnerability via the `/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/emails/plain/` URI, which could potentially access a parent directory. However, a software maintainer notes that Directory Traversal is not possible due to the presence of `if (!defined('ABSPATH')) {exit;}` code in all template files.
**Recommendations**
For WooCommerce plugin versions 3.x, consider restricting access to the `/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/emails/plain/` URI to minimize potential risks.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
