## What it looks like

An API or plugin returns customer records to an unauthorized caller.

## Why it matters

Personal and purchase information may be exposed.

## What to check

Review WooCommerce API keys, permissions, and extension endpoints.

## Documentation

This is an exploit pattern to check in installed components, not a claim that every WordPress site has this flaw. Confirm the product and version against its advisories before treating a site as affected. See [WooCommerce REST API overview](https://developer.woocommerce.com/docs/apis/), [WooCommerce security FAQ](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-security-faq/).
