Exploitation Conditions

No authentication is required and no special server configuration is needed beyond a standard WPCafe installation running on WordPress with the plugin active and version in range 3.0.10-3.0.17. The WordPress REST API must be accessible (the default state for all standard WordPress installations). The flaw is limited to the WPCafe order-management REST routes, so only guest (non-logged-in customer) order records are directly exposed through the confidentiality vector - registered-user orders may have separate protections. The sole limiting factors are: (1) the target site must have WPCafe installed and active, and (2) the site must not have globally disabled unauthenticated REST API access via a separate hardening measure.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) yields a Medium score of 6.5, which accurately bounds the impact to guest order data and order-state manipulation rather than full site takeover. The real-world urgency is higher than the numeric score implies: a publicly available exploit lowers the skill floor to near-zero, and the attack requires no authentication or special conditions whatsoever - even a mid-sized restaurant group with IT operations in sanok should treat this as urgent patching, since unauthenticated guest order enumeration directly implicates GDPR obligations around customer personal data. No CISA KEV listing is present in the input, so confirmed mass exploitation is not established, but the combination of low attack complexity and a public proof-of-concept makes opportunistic scanning plausible. EPSS data was not provided; without it, exploitation probability cannot be quantitatively stated. The S:U (no scope change) correctly reflects that exploitation stays within the WPCafe/WooCommerce data layer.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker discovers a WordPress site running WPCafe by fingerprinting the REST API namespace (e.g., via /wp-json/) and sends HTTP requests directly to WPCafe order-management endpoints without credentials; the broken permission callback returns null, the WordPress REST dispatcher interprets this as allowed, and the attacker iterates numeric order IDs to extract guest customer names, addresses, and order details. With the same access, the attacker can mass-change order statuses to 'cancelled' or bulk-trash orders to disrupt restaurant operations. A publicly available exploit from WPScan reduces the technical barrier to this attack to near-zero.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 11, 2026

Unauthenticated order-management access in WPCafe WordPress plugin before 3.0.18 stems from REST API permission callbacks that return an incorrect PHP type on failure, causing WordPress's REST dispatcher to grant rather than deny access. Remote unauthenticated attackers can enumerate guest order information (names, addresses, items) and manipulate any order's status or move orders to trash without logging in. A publicly available exploit reported by WPScan exists; the vendor has released a patch in version 3.0.18.

RemediationAI

Upgrade WPCafe to version 3.0.18 or later, which corrects the permission callback return type so that failed authorization checks properly return false or WP_Error, causing WordPress to deny unauthenticated requests. The vendor-released patch is confirmed available per the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/fe8d76b2-6d57-49cc-9927-5231e1a26a41/. If immediate patching is not possible, a compensating control is to globally disable the WordPress REST API for unauthenticated users using a security plugin (e.g., Disable REST API) or by adding an authentication filter via functions.php - note this may break legitimate guest order-status lookup features and should be tested against the application's functionality before deployment. Restricting the specific WPCafe REST namespace via a WAF rule is another option but requires knowledge of the exact endpoint paths.

Technical ContextAI · show details

WPCafe is a WordPress restaurant-ordering plugin that registers WooCommerce order-management routes via the WordPress REST API. WordPress REST endpoints require a permission_callback function that must return true to allow or WP_Error/false to deny access. The root cause (CWE-284, Improper Access Control) is that WPCafe's affected callbacks return an incorrect type - such as null or an empty value - on failure, which PHP evaluates as truthy in the REST dispatcher's access check, inadvertently permitting the request. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:unknown:wpcafe:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering versions from 3.0.10 up to (but not including) 3.0.18. Because the flaw is in the callback return type rather than a missing check entirely, it evades naive code review.

DescriptionCVE.org

The WPCafe WordPress plugin before 3.0.18 does not correctly restrict access to a set of order-management REST endpoints because their permission callbacks return an incorrect type on failure, allowing unauthenticated users to disclose guest order information and to change the status of, or trash, any order.
