| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated WordPress session at Subscriber level or higher - the lowest role available after user registration. The attacker does not need any special capabilities beyond having an active account on the target site. The primary limiting factor is account access: sites with WordPress user registration disabled significantly reduce the exploitable population, as the attacker must obtain credentials through other means (credential stuffing, phishing, purchase on underground markets) rather than self-registration. Additionally, the target site must have the MStore API plugin installed, activated, and integrated with an active WooCommerce instance. No special plugin configuration or non-default settings are required beyond the plugin being present - the vulnerable endpoint is exposed by default upon plugin activation. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, score 6.5) accurately characterizes the attack profile: network-accessible, low complexity, requiring only low-privileged authentication - any valid WordPress account including Subscribers. The High confidentiality rating reflects unrestricted access to all customer PII and purchase records, which carries regulatory implications (GDPR, CCPA) beyond the technical severity score. Integrity and availability are unaffected. EPSS at 0.13% (3rd percentile) is unexpectedly low given that a public POC exists and the attack complexity is minimal; this likely reflects the niche deployment footprint of MStore API rather than low exploitability of the flaw itself. There is no CISA KEV listing, so active exploitation is not confirmed by that channel. Real-world priority is high for stores with public user registration enabled, where an attacker can self-provision the Subscriber account needed - but substantially lower for stores where registration is closed and account access must be obtained by other means. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A publicly available exploit exists per WPScan (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/85c6ff37-4761-420c-970f-05b2c50d3b28/). An attacker registers a free Subscriber account on the target WooCommerce store, authenticates to the WordPress REST API, and issues a GET request to the /vendor-orders endpoint without additional parameters. The server responds with all store orders - including customer names, billing addresses, email addresses, and line-item purchase details - enabling bulk exfiltration of customer PII in a single or paginated series of requests. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 07, 2026
Broken Object Level Authorization in MStore API WordPress plugin (all versions before 4.21.0) exposes every WooCommerce order and associated customer PII to any authenticated WordPress user, including low-privileged Subscribers. The vendor-orders endpoint performs no caller-scoping check, meaning a Subscriber can enumerate the entire store's order history. Publicly available exploit code exists per WPScan, though EPSS at 0.13% (3rd percentile) indicates exploitation has not become widespread at time of analysis; no CISA KEV listing confirms active exploitation.
RemediationAI
Upgrade MStore API to version 4.21.0 or later, where the vendor-orders endpoint has been patched to enforce caller-scoped authorization. Patch and advisory details are available at https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/85c6ff37-4761-420c-970f-05b2c50d3b28/. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable WordPress public user registration (Dashboard > Settings > General > uncheck 'Anyone can register') to prevent untrusted parties from self-provisioning the Subscriber role required to exploit this endpoint - note this will break legitimate mobile app user onboarding flows and must be weighed accordingly. As an additional layer, a WAF rule blocking access to the /vendor-orders API path for non-vendor/non-admin roles can restrict exposure while patching is coordinated, though WAF coverage of WordPress REST paths varies by implementation.

Technical ContextAI · show details
MStore API is a WordPress plugin that exposes REST API endpoints to power WooCommerce-backed mobile applications. The affected endpoint - vendor-orders - is intended to surface order data to authenticated callers but relies on a user-controlled key (order identifier or unrestricted list query) without verifying that the requesting user owns or is scoped to the returned records. CWE-639 (Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key) captures this root cause: the server substitutes authentication (proving who you are) for authorization (proving you are allowed to see this resource). In a WooCommerce context this means all order objects - including customer name, billing address, email, and purchase details - are returned in the same response structure intended for vendors and admins. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:unknown:mstore_api:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all versions prior to 4.21.0; the vendor field is listed as 'unknown' in NVD CPE, which limits automated asset-matching tooling.

The MStore API WordPress plugin before 4.21.0 does not restrict its vendor-orders endpoint to the caller's own orders, allowing any authenticated user, including Subscribers, to read every WooCommerce order in the store together with each customer's personal information.
