Deeper analysis
The Product Table for WooCommerce (wooproducttable) WordPress plugin before version 3.1.2 contains a vulnerability in the wpt_admin_update_notice_option AJAX action. The action lacks authorization and CSRF checks, is reachable by unauthenticated users, and fails to validate the supplied callback parameter, permitting arbitrary function invocation with zero or one attacker-controlled argument. The flaw is tracked as CVE-2022-1020 with a CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 and maps to CWE-352 and CWE-862.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit the issue over the network without user interaction to execute arbitrary PHP functions on the affected WordPress site. Successful exploitation can result in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application and its data.
The referenced WPScan advisory identifies the affected plugin versions and indicates that the issue is resolved in 3.1.2 and later. Site administrators should update the plugin to a patched release to eliminate the exposed AJAX action and restore proper access controls.
EPSS for the CVE currently stands at 0.8941 with a recorded peak of 0.9214, indicating sustained and substantial exploitation interest.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI
Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Requiring an access control policy ensures authorization checks are defined and applied for critical functions.
Reviews of access controls detect missing authorization checks on critical functions or resources.
Documenting permitted unauthenticated actions prevents missing authorization by making all exceptions explicit and subject to organizational review.
Requiring attribute association with information prevents authorization from being performed without necessary security or privacy context.
Mandating authorization prior to allowing remote connections addresses missing authorization for remote access.
Mandating authorization before wireless connections are allowed prevents missing authorization for wireless access.
The control requires authorization before allowing mobile device connections, directly mitigating missing authorization for system access.
Requiring approvals for account creation and specifying authorizations ensures authorization is not missing for system access.
