MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions beyond having the vulnerable plugin installed - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of PayPlug for WooCommerce (Official) versions 2.8.0 up to (not including) 3.1.1. The vulnerable AJAX actions perform no capability or ownership check, so no authentication, role, or configuration toggle is required. The only practical limiting factor is that the attacker must supply a target order identifier; because WooCommerce order IDs are typically sequential integers, these are readily enumerable, so this is a weak limit rather than a real barrier. Exploitation is bounded to sites running the affected version range. |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.5) broken-access-control flaw (CWE-862) whose signals are internally consistent but point to a moderate, not emergency, priority. The CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation with no user interaction - the most dangerous part of the profile. Against that, the exploitation-likelihood signals are low: EPSS is 0.15% (4th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit was identified, so there is no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_month', which aligns with a patch-this-cycle posture rather than act_now/emergency. One notable tension in the supplied data: the CVSS vector sets A:N (no availability impact) even though the description states orders can be 'permanently deleted' - permanent destruction of arbitrary order records is a material integrity/availability concern that the official 6.5 score appears to understate. Overall: a genuinely remotely exploitable authorization flaw worth prompt patching, but current threat-intel signals (low EPSS, no KEV, no confirmed exploit) indicate it is not yet under active exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends crafted AJAX requests to the vulnerable PayPlug endpoints, supplying WooCommerce order identifiers (typically sequential integers that can be enumerated). Because no capability or ownership check is performed, the attacker can read the contents of other customers' orders, tamper with order data, or permanently delete arbitrary orders - all without any credentials. No public exploit code was identified, but the low complexity (AC:L) and lack of authentication (PR:N) make exploitation straightforward. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026
Unauthenticated broken access control in the PayPlug for WooCommerce (Official) WordPress plugin before 3.1.1 lets remote attackers read, modify, and permanently delete arbitrary WooCommerce orders by supplying an order identifier to AJAX actions that perform no capability or ownership check. Sites running versions 2.8.0 up to but not including 3.1.1 are affected, and because WooCommerce order IDs are typically sequential integers, the required identifier is readily enumerable - a weak limit rather than a real barrier. CVSS is 6.5 with an assessed vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, EPSS is low at 0.15% (percentile 4%), there is no CISA KEV entry, and no public exploit code is confirmed; the vendor has released a patch in 3.1.1, and priority is this_month.
RemediationAI
Update the PayPlug for WooCommerce (Official) plugin to 3.1.1 or later, which is the vendor-released fix that adds the missing capability and ownership checks to the affected AJAX actions. Until the update is applied, the practical exposure reduction is to deactivate the plugin if online PayPlug payments are not in active use (sites lose PayPlug checkout functionality), or to front the store with a WAF/rule set that restricts unauthenticated access to the plugin's AJAX endpoints, accepting that this may break legitimate guest-checkout flows and is not a complete substitute for the patched code. Because the actions key off caller-supplied order IDs, avoid exposing order identifiers unnecessarily and review store order logs for unexpected deletions or modifications during the exposure window.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in the PayPlug for WooCommerce (Official) plugin, which wires payment-gateway order handling into WooCommerce's AJAX surface. A set of AJAX actions that operate on a caller-supplied order identifier are registered without any capability or ownership check, so any unauthenticated HTTP client can invoke them directly. Because the actions key off an attacker-chosen order ID rather than the session's order or the current user's capabilities, an attacker can target any order in the store - reading its contents (C:L), altering it (assessed I:H rather than the CNA's I:L), and in the deletion path destroying it permanently. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U confirms network reachability, no privileges, and no user interaction on default configurations; the only practical gating factor is knowing or guessing a valid order ID, and WooCommerce order IDs are typically sequential integers that are readily enumerable, so this is a weak limit rather than a real barrier. The description does not detail how each individual AJAX action is triggered beyond this, and exploitation is bounded to sites running the affected version range.
