MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The target must be a WordPress site running the SureCart plugin at version 4.9.5 or earlier. Beyond that, the available sources do not describe the exact feature, configuration, or protocol that must be present to trigger the spoofing-based authentication bypass, so no specific configuration prerequisite can be confirmed - the trigger is not described in the available sources. Per the supplied CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication and no user interaction are required and the attack is network-based, which means the main limiting factor is simply having a vulnerable, reachable installation; there is no stated requirement for a non-default setting, though whether a default install is affected is not confirmed by the input. |
| Impact | Severity signals are strong but the picture is partly inferred. The input CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.8) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring no privileges or user interaction, consistent with an authentication-bypass-by-spoofing weakness (CWE-290) and the vuln.today 'act_now' decision label. Because the vector contains PR:N, treating this as remotely exploitable by unauthenticated attackers is supported by the data. However, key corroborating signals are MISSING rather than conflicting: no EPSS exploitation-probability score is provided, the vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and no SSVC exploitation/automatable/technical-impact breakdown is supplied - so the only elevated-urgency signal is Patchstack's own 'act_now' priority. The single reference is the Patchstack advisory page, not exploit code, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. Net: the CVSS and vendor priority justify prioritized patching, but the absence of EPSS/KEV/SSVC means the real-world exploitation likelihood is unverified and the 9.8 should be read as a severity ceiling pending vendor/Patchstack detail on the exact trigger. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote attacker, without any credentials, sends a crafted request to a WordPress site running the SureCart plugin (version 4.9.5 or earlier) that spoofs a trusted authentication artifact, causing the plugin to accept the request as an authenticated identity. This grants the attacker access to functionality that should require authentication (authentication abuse). No public exploit code was identified in the provided data; the only reference is the Patchstack advisory. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 22, 2026
Authentication bypass by spoofing in Brainstorm Force's SureCart WordPress plugin affects versions through 4.9.5 and, per the CVSS vector, is reachable over the network without authentication or user interaction, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The exact spoofing mechanism and any required configuration are not described in the supplied sources, and no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today priority is act_now.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the available data, so affected WordPress sites should monitor the Patchstack advisory and update SureCart to a release later than 4.9.5 as soon as Brainstorm Force publishes one. Because the trigger is not described, no feature-specific workaround can be confirmed; if the plugin cannot be updated, the actionable compensating control supported by the evidence is to reduce exposure of the vulnerable installation by restricting public access to the WordPress site or SureCart endpoints, or by disabling/removing the SureCart plugin, accepting that storefront and e-commerce functionality will be lost.

Technical ContextAI · show details
SureCart is a WordPress e-commerce plugin identified in the CPE data as brainstorm_force:surecart, with all versions through 4.9.5 affected. The assigned CWE-290 (Authentication Bypass by Spoofing) class means an authentication decision can be influenced by identity data that an attacker is able to forge, although the supplied advisory does not specify which request, token, header, or account flow is involved; the trigger is therefore not described in the available sources. CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates a network-based, low-complexity attack requiring no privileges and no user interaction, with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Authentication Bypass by Spoofing vulnerability in Brainstorm Force SureCart surecart allows Authentication Abuse.This issue affects SureCart: from n/a through 4.9.5.
Articles & Coverage 1
Executive ViewAI
The SureCart WordPress plugin (versions through 4.9.5) contains a critical authentication bypass that allows unauthenticated attackers to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of e-commerce operations. Any organization relying on this plugin for payment processing or customer data is at risk of full system takeover, making immediate remediation essential to protect revenue and customer trust.
Disable the SureCart plugin; restrict network access to plugin endpoints via WAF or IP allowlisting; enable detailed logging and monitoring for anomalous authentication attempts; isolate affected WordPress instances from sensitive networks.
