MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Defense Evasion, Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitable against the plugin's DEFAULT configuration: the payment webhook accepts an empty access token and does not verify that the confirmed payment matches the order being marked paid, so no authentication or special setup is required for versions before 2.7.8. The only meaningful prerequisites are that the Asaas Gateway for WooCommerce plugin (pre-2.7.8) is installed, active, and reachable over the network with its default/unconfigured webhook token. Exploitation is LIMITED in effect to integrity of order payment status - it cannot exfiltrate data or take down the site - and real-world harm depends on whether the merchant auto-fulfills orders on 'paid' status; stores that have set a non-empty webhook access token may not be affected. |
| Impact | This is a moderate, business-logic authentication bypass rather than a system-compromise flaw. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, score 5.3) confirms remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation with no user interaction, and the impact is scoped strictly to integrity (C:N/I:L/A:N) - attackers can falsely mark WooCommerce orders as paid, not read data or crash the server. Signals are largely consistent but point to limited urgency: EPSS is low (0.22%, 12th percentile) and SSVC lists Exploitation as 'none' (no observed active exploitation), yet SSVC also flags Automatable:yes and Technical Impact:partial, which aligns with the trivial default-config bypass. The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no confirmed active exploitation; however, publicly available exploit code (via WPScan) raises opportunistic risk. Net: this is a real, easily-triggered fraud/fulfillment-bypass issue for merchants using this specific plugin, but it is not a high-priority mass-exploitation threat - prioritize patching for affected e-commerce sites, especially those shipping goods automatically on 'paid' status. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker identifies a WooCommerce store running the Asaas Gateway plugin in its default configuration and sends a crafted request to the plugin's payment webhook endpoint with an empty access token. Because the webhook neither validates the token nor confirms the payment belongs to the referenced order, the store marks the attacker's chosen order(s) as paid, enabling order fulfillment or digital-goods delivery without payment. Public exploit code for this flaw is available via WPScan. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Unauthenticated attackers can mark arbitrary WooCommerce orders as paid on stores running the Asaas Gateway for WooCommerce plugin before 2.7.8, because the plugin's payment webhook accepts an empty access token under its default configuration and never confirms that the notified payment actually belongs to the order it updates (CWE-287 improper authentication). Exploitation needs only the vulnerable plugin installed, active, and network-reachable in its default state, and publicly available exploit code exists; CISA's SSVC decision data records no observed exploitation and EPSS is low at 0.22% (12th percentile). The impact is confined to integrity of order payment status - no data disclosure or availability loss - but stores that auto-fulfill or auto-provision on a 'paid' status can suffer fraudulent fulfillment and revenue loss.
RemediationAI
The vendor-released patch is Asaas Gateway for WooCommerce 2.7.8, so upgrading the plugin to 2.7.8 or later is the primary and only complete fix; sites on the affected range should treat the update as urgent if they auto-fulfill orders. If immediate patching is not possible, actionable compensating controls include: setting a strong, non-empty webhook access token in the plugin's gateway settings (closes the empty-token path but does not fix the missing payment-to-order binding, so it is a partial mitigation); restricting the webhook endpoint to Asaas source IP ranges via .htaccess, a reverse proxy, or a WordPress security plugin (trade-off: Asaas' egress IPs can change, and blocking too aggressively silently breaks legitimate payment notifications); and disabling automatic order fulfillment or automatic download/account provisioning on 'paid' status until patched (trade-off: increases manual reconciliation workload). Monitoring order-status changes and cross-checking against the Asaas dashboard for unexpected 'paid' transitions helps detect abuse in the meantime. Do not rely on deactivating the plugin as a permanent fix, since that disables all payment processing. Consult the WPScan advisory at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/3f6338bf-9d0d-4718-aefb-51d13800cec1/ and the NVD entry at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-87974 for confirmation of the fixed version.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Asaas Gateway for WooCommerce is a WordPress/WooCommerce payment-gateway integration for the Brazilian Asaas payment platform. Payment confirmations arrive asynchronously from Asaas to a webhook endpoint exposed by the plugin, and that endpoint is the attack surface here. Two defects combine: the webhook performs inadequate authentication (CWE-287), accepting an empty access token as valid in the shipped/default configuration, and it applies no binding check between the confirmed payment record and the WooCommerce order it marks as paid. Because the endpoint is network-reachable and the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, an attacker who can guess or enumerate order identifiers can flip arbitrary orders to paid without credentials, user interaction, or special setup. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:unknown:asaas_gateway_for_woocommerce:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* shows unresolved vendor metadata, and the ENISA EUVD record (EUVD-2026-100858) lists the affected range as Asaas Gateway for WooCommerce versions 0 through below 2.7.8. Scope is Unchanged with Confidentiality and Availability:None and Integrity:Low, so this is a business-logic authorization flaw rather than a path to code execution or data theft.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
The Asaas Gateway for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 2.7.8 does not properly authenticate its payment webhook, accepting an empty access token in its default configuration and not verifying that the confirmed payment corresponds to the order it marks paid, allowing unauthenticated attackers to mark arbitrary orders as paid.
