The MStore API WordPress plugin before 4.21.0 does not verify the payment with the payment gateway before marking an order as paid on several of its payment-completion endpoints, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to mark an arbitrary order fully paid without paying and obtain goods or services for free.

AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in the MStore API WordPress plugin before 4.21.0 lets an unauthenticated remote attacker mark any order as fully paid without processing a real payment, because several payment-completion endpoints trust the client-supplied completion signal instead of verifying it against the payment gateway. Any store using this plugin can be defrauded of goods, services, or digital downloads. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the target WordPress site to have the MStore API plugin installed and active at a version below 4.21.0 with WooCommerce checkout/payment flows enabled, and it targets the plugin's payment-completion endpoints specifically. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are largely aligned toward real risk but with one important caveat. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker adds items to a cart on a store running MStore API < 4.21.0, then sends a crafted request directly to one of the payment-completion REST endpoints referencing their order ID, causing WooCommerce to mark the order as fully paid without any funds changing hands. The store then ships physical goods or releases digital downloads/licenses for free; because the flaw is automatable, this can be scripted across many orders. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade the MStore API plugin to version 4.21.0 or later, which is the primary and confirmed fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: identify all WordPress instances running MStore API plugin and determine which are version 4.20.x or earlier; audit payment processing logs for the past week to establish a baseline of normal transaction patterns. …
