CVE-2024-10486 is a medium-severity Missing Authorization (CWE-862) vulnerability in Wordpress (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).
Operationally, ranked in the top 9.7% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
The Google for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to information disclosure in all versions through 2.8.6. The issue arises from a publicly accessible print_php_information.php file included in the googleads/google-ads-php vendor directory, which exposes web server and PHP configuration details without authentication.
Unauthenticated remote attackers can directly request the file to retrieve sensitive environment information that can be leveraged to support additional attacks. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 and is associated with CWE-862.
The current and peak EPSS scores are both 0.0536, indicating no material increase in exploitation interest after disclosure.

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.
