CVE-2026-16993 is a low-severity vulnerability rated 3.7/10 on the CVSS scale. The DHL Shipping Germany for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 4.0.1 does not protect its shipping-label storage directory with server-independent access control, relying only on an Apache .htaccess file, so on a web server that does not honor .htaccess (such as nginx) an unauthenticated visitor can download stored shipping labels (each containing a customer's name and postal address) by requesting predictable filenames.. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
