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 | The attacker must hold a valid, authenticated session on the WordPress site at subscriber level or above - unauthenticated visitors cannot exploit this vulnerability. The attacker must also possess a valid gift card code that was issued to a different user; the code is not guessable from authentication state alone. For the second vulnerable redemption path (present through version 3.2.9), the companion plugin from the same vendor must be installed and active on the same site. Sites running only the core plugin at version 3.2.9 (without the companion plugin) are exposed only through the first redemption path. Sites updated to 3.2.10 are not affected by either path. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is moderate despite the CVSS 6.5 score. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) correctly captures the primary exposure: network-reachable, low-complexity, low-privilege exploitation with high integrity impact. However, two practical constraints reduce urgency beyond what CVSS alone implies. First, the attacker must possess a valid gift card code belonging to another user - obtaining this code is a non-trivial prerequisite not reflected in the AC:L rating, which assumes the code is obtainable. Second, the second vulnerable path requires a companion plugin to be installed and active, limiting blast radius on partial deployments. EPSS at 0.14% (4th percentile) and SSVC exploitation status of 'none' together suggest mass exploitation has not materialized despite a public PoC from WPScan. The financial integrity impact is concrete - real monetary value can be drained - making this a genuine business risk for e-commerce operators even if widespread automated exploitation is not observed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has registered a subscriber account on a WooCommerce store - or has obtained credentials for an existing low-privilege account - acquires a valid gift card code issued to another user (e.g., intercepted from an email, obtained socially, or enumerated if codes have low entropy). The attacker submits that code to the plugin's redemption endpoint, which applies no ownership verification, transfers the full balance to the attacker's account, and zeroes the victim's card. A public proof-of-concept from WPScan demonstrates this flow. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 09, 2026
Missing authorization on gift card redemption in Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce (versions before 3.2.10) allows any authenticated subscriber to redeem gift cards belonging to other users, zeroing the victim's balance and crediting the full value to the attacker's own account. Two separate redemption code paths are affected: version 3.2.9 patched one path but left a second path vulnerable when a companion plugin from the same vendor is active; both paths are fully remediated in 3.2.10. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan, though EPSS sits at 0.14% (4th percentile) and SSVC indicates no confirmed active exploitation.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce plugin to version 3.2.10 or later, which closes both affected redemption paths. This is the only complete fix - version 3.2.9 leaves the second path open when the companion plugin is active. Update can be performed via the WordPress admin dashboard under Plugins → Installed Plugins → Update. If immediate upgrade is not possible, as a temporary workaround site administrators can disable the companion plugin from the same vendor, which removes the trigger condition for the second vulnerable redemption path; note this will also disable whatever functionality the companion plugin provides. Restricting site registration to prevent untrusted users from obtaining subscriber accounts further reduces exposure but does not eliminate it for existing accounts. The WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/a08125a6-e528-49f1-82c4-191df80af26c/ provides additional detail.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The plugin implements gift card redemption logic across two distinct code paths within the WooCommerce ecosystem. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) identifies the root cause: neither path verifies that the currently authenticated user matches the intended recipient recorded at the time the gift card was issued or purchased. WordPress subscriber-level accounts - the lowest tier of authenticated users - possess sufficient privilege to invoke these endpoints. The second vulnerable path is gated behind a companion plugin from the same vendor being simultaneously active, narrowing the exposure footprint on sites running only the core plugin at version 3.2.9. CPE lists the vendor as 'unknown' (a placeholder), but WPScan authoritatively identifies this as the Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce plugin ecosystem.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
The Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 3.2.10 does not verify that the user redeeming a gift card is its intended recipient, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to redeem gift cards belonging to other users, zeroing their balance and crediting the value to themselves.
In 3.2.9 an ownership check was added on one of the two affected redemption paths; the one that remains requires a companion Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 3.2.10 from the same vendor to be active.
