DescriptionCVE.org

The Conekta Payment Gateway WordPress plugin before 6.2.2 does not verify the authenticity of incoming payment gateway webhook notifications, nor bind the confirmed payment to the targeted order or verify its amount, allowing unauthenticated attackers to mark arbitrary orders as paid without payment.

AnalysisAI

Webhook signature bypass in the Conekta Payment Gateway WordPress plugin (all versions before 6.2.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to fraudulently mark arbitrary WooCommerce orders as paid without any actual payment. The plugin neither validates that incoming webhook notifications originate from Conekta nor verifies that the payment amount or order binding matches the targeted order. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special server-side configuration is required; the default installed and active state of the Conekta Payment Gateway plugin on any publicly reachable WooCommerce store is sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS 3.1 score of 5.3 (Medium, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) reflects the network-accessible, no-auth, low-complexity attack surface accurately, but the Integrity:Low assignment understates the real business impact - attackers can fraudulently trigger fulfillment of any order, not merely cause minor data corruption. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to Conekta Payment Gateway version 6.2.2 or later immediately; this is the confirmed patched release per the WPScan advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/89a2917e-032c-4f0f-be44-1a50b9d6fddf/). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
