Exploitation Conditions

The target must be a WordPress site running WooCommerce with the UPI QR Code Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin at a version from n/a through 1.6.3 installed; the description attributes the flaw to incorrectly configured access control security levels on a plugin endpoint. Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication and no user interaction are required, so exploitation works remotely against affected installations without special privileges. The practical limiting factor is deployment footprint rather than configuration: this is a niche UPI (India-oriented) payment plugin, so exposure is confined to the specific stores that have it installed and active. Impact is limited to confidentiality (C:H); integrity and availability are not affected (I:N/A:N).

Impact

This is a missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the UPI QR Code Payment Gateway for WooCommerce WordPress plugin, scored CVSS 7.5 with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N - network-reachable, low-complexity, and unauthenticated (PR:N). Impact is confidentiality-only (C:H; I:N/A:N), so this is a broken-access-control information-disclosure issue rather than a code-execution or tampering bug, which moderates its practical severity despite the HIGH rating. The vuln.today priority is 'this_week', a near-term but not emergency signal. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no confirmed proof-of-concept were supplied; the single reference is a Patchstack advisory entry, not working exploit code, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The signals are internally consistent - an unauthenticated network C:H bug on a WordPress plugin typically attracts opportunistic scanning - but the absence of EPSS/KEV/POC data means exploitation likelihood cannot be quantified from the input. EPSS and KEV are simply missing rather than conflicting, so their absence should not be read as low risk; treat this as a real but not emergency patching priority consistent with the 'this_week' label.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker sends a crafted request directly to an access-control-deficient endpoint of the plugin on a WooCommerce store, without authenticating (PR:N) and without any user interaction (UI:N). Because low attack complexity applies (AC:L), the request succeeds against an affected installation and returns data that should have been restricted, disclosing confidential information (C:H). No confirmed proof-of-concept or working exploit code was provided in the input.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 24, 2026

Unauthenticated remote attackers can read protected information from WordPress sites running the Knit Pay UPI QR Code Payment Gateway for WooCommerce through version 1.6.3 because a plugin endpoint lacks authorization checks (CWE-862). The flaw is rated CVSS 7.5 with confidentiality-only impact (C:H/I:N/A:N) and requires WooCommerce plus the named plugin to be installed and active. No CISA KEV entry or public exploit code is present in the supplied intelligence, and exposure is limited by the plugin's niche UPI payment deployment footprint.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed version is identified in the supplied data; the referenced Patchstack advisory should be checked for an updated release, and the plugin should be updated to that version when available. Until a fix is confirmed, the most complete way to remove exposure is to deactivate and remove the UPI QR Code Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin, with the trade-off that UPI QR checkout functionality is lost; if the affected endpoint can be identified from the advisory, restricting or blocking access to it at the web server or WAF is an alternative, but the supplied sources do not identify the endpoint and such filtering may break legitimate payment callbacks.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a WordPress/WooCommerce payment plugin that provides UPI QR code payments (slug upi-qr-code-payment-for-woocommerce). CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) means an access-control check is absent on a plugin endpoint, allowing a network attacker to reach functionality or data that should require authorization. The supplied CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N confirms remote reachability, low attack complexity, no privileges and no user interaction, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. The sources do not describe the specific endpoint, parameter, or data returned; the trigger is not described in the available sources. No CPE strings were supplied, so product identification relies on the plugin name and slug.

Missing Authorization vulnerability in Knit Pay UPI QR Code Payment Gateway for WooCommerce upi-qr-code-payment-for-woocommerce allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects UPI QR Code Payment Gateway for WooCommerce: from n/a through 1.6.3.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

CVE-2026-114191 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Knit Pay UPI QR Code Payment Gateway plugin for WooCommerce (versions up to 1.6.3) that could allow unauthenticated attackers to read protected information from affected WordPress sites. Although no active exploitation has been observed and the plugin's niche deployment reduces overall exposure, any organization using this payment gateway faces potential confidentiality breaches of sensitive data, which could lead to compliance issues and reputational harm. Leadership should prioritize identifying and mitigating affected installations, especially in customer-facing payment environments.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling the plugin if not essential, restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint via WAF rules, and implementing network segmentation or additional authentication layers for payment-related services.
