MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Defense Evasion, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitable only on a stock/default installation where the Wompi merchant secret has NOT yet been manually configured - in that state the callback checksum is keyed on an empty secret, so an unauthenticated remote attacker can forge a payment notification and mark an arbitrary order as paid. The primary limiting factor is configuration: once the operator sets a non-empty merchant secret (as a functioning store processing real payments would normally do), checksum verification succeeds and the forgery is rejected. No authentication (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N) are required against a vulnerable, unconfigured install. |
| Impact | Signals point to a modest, conditional risk rather than an urgent priority. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N - network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated, with impact limited to integrity (I:L) and no confidentiality or availability effect. EPSS is low at 0.17% (7th percentile), consistent with no observed widespread exploitation. The vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV, so there is no public evidence of active exploitation. No PoC or exploit reference appears in the provided references (only a WPScan advisory and the NVD detail page), so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', indicating a routine patch cadence rather than emergency action. The single most important caveat is in the description itself: exploitation only works on a 'stock install' where the merchant secret is still empty/unconfigured; once an operator configures the Wompi merchant secret (which a live store collecting real payments would normally need to do), the checksum verification functions and the forgery is blocked. This makes the realistic attack surface narrower than the AV:N/PR:N vector alone suggests - the CVSS vector and the description are consistent, but the 'stock install' precondition materially limits real-world risk and is not reflected in the base score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker targets a WordPress store running the Wompi payment plugin that has been installed but not yet configured with a merchant secret. The attacker sends a forged payment-notification callback to the plugin's endpoint; because the checksum is keyed on an empty secret, the forged notification passes verification and an arbitrary order is marked as paid, letting the attacker obtain goods or services without payment. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, and no authentication or user interaction is required. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
The Payment Integration Wompi plugin for WordPress (through version 4.0.1) accepts incoming payment notifications without proving they came from Wompi when the merchant secret has not yet been set, because the callback checksum is keyed on that secret while it is still empty; an unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore forge a notification and flip an arbitrary order to paid. The exposure is conditional on configuration: on a stock, unconfigured install any remote user with no credentials and no user interaction can perform the forgery, but once the operator sets a non-empty merchant secret the checksum verification works and the forged callback is rejected. Scoring is modest (CVSS 5.3, integrity-only, EPSS 0.17% at the 7th percentile), there is no CISA KEV entry, and no public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis; the vuln.today decision label is this_month.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch with an exact fixed version is identified in the available data; the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/617a62de-f7d6-461e-bbf2-db6092a3346f/ is the authoritative source to monitor for a fixed release of the plugin beyond 4.0.1. The decisive compensating control follows directly from the defect: open the plugin's Wompi settings and set a non-empty merchant secret so the callback checksum is keyed on a real value, after which forged notifications fail verification; the trade-off is that this requires valid Wompi merchant credentials and any store left unset remains fully exploitable. Sites that cannot yet supply a secret should deactivate the Payment Integration Wompi plugin until it is configured or a patched version is published, accepting the loss of Wompi checkout on those stores, and should audit existing orders for payment-status changes they cannot reconcile against the gateway. No further mitigations are specified in the supplied sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The target is a WordPress payment-gateway plugin that receives server-to-server payment notifications from the Wompi gateway and uses a checksum over the callback payload, keyed on the merchant's secret, as its only authenticity check. The root cause is CWE-287 (Improper Authentication): because the secret is stored as an empty value on a fresh install until an administrator manually enters it, the keyed checksum degenerates into a value any remote party can compute, so a crafted request is treated as a genuine gateway notification. The CVSS:3.1:AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N vector confirms the network-reachable, unauthenticated, no-interaction path and scopes the impact to limited integrity loss (order payment status) with no confidentiality or availability effect; the vulnerability class is also tagged as Authentication Bypass in the WordPress ecosystem. No CPE data was supplied; the EUVD affected-version list bounds the issue at Payment Integration Wompi 0 through 4.0.1. The trigger mechanics beyond the callback-checksum path are not described in the available sources.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The Payment Integration Wompi WordPress plugin through 4.0.1 does not verify the authenticity of incoming payment notifications on a stock install, because the callback's checksum is keyed on a merchant secret that is empty until it is manually configured, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to forge a notification and mark an arbitrary order as paid.
