| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a registered and authenticated customer account on the targeted store (PR:L per CVSS vector - any user who can self-register qualifies). The Wallet System for WooCommerce plugin must be installed, active, and the wallet payment method must be enabled at checkout; stores with the plugin installed but the wallet method disabled at the WooCommerce payment settings level are not exploitable. No admin access, elevated privileges, or non-default configuration is required beyond the plugin being active in its intended use. Anonymous (unauthenticated) visitors cannot exploit this. The limiting factor is the low-privilege authentication requirement - attack surface is bounded to registered users, but on stores with open user registration this means any internet user qualifies. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) accurately reflects the real-world risk: network-exploitable with low complexity, but gated behind an authenticated customer account (PR:L). The integrity impact is genuinely high - merchants receive no payment for fulfilled orders. No EPSS data was provided in the input, limiting quantitative exploitation-probability assessment; this gap should be noted by analysts. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so active exploitation in the wild is not confirmed. However, a public proof-of-concept is confirmed by WPScan, which substantially lowers the exploitation barrier and makes this a realistic near-term threat. SSVC signals are concerning: exploitation is automatable (checkout manipulation is scriptable at scale), technical impact on the vulnerable system is high (direct financial loss to merchants), and operator awareness may be low given the plugin's niche footprint. This is a genuine operational priority for affected stores - not a high-CVSS-but-low-real-risk issue - because the combination of low attack complexity, public POC, and direct financial fraud motive creates strong attacker incentive. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A registered customer logs into a WooCommerce store, adds high-value items to their cart, and uses an HTTP proxy to intercept and modify the checkout POST request, setting the wallet deduction parameter to the full order total regardless of their actual wallet balance. The plugin processes the tampered amount without querying the stored balance, marks the order as fully paid, and the merchant fulfills the order having collected no funds. A public proof-of-concept is available, making this attack replicable without advanced technical skill. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 12, 2026
Authenticated customers on WooCommerce stores running Wallet System for WooCommerce before 2.7.10 can complete purchases for free by submitting arbitrarily inflated wallet deduction amounts during checkout that the plugin accepts without verifying against the customer's actual stored balance. This business logic flaw enables systematic payment fraud - any registered shopper can zero out an order total and receive goods or services without paying the merchant. A publicly available proof-of-concept exists per WPScan, making this trivially exploitable by any site visitor who can register an account, and patching should be treated as urgent.
RemediationAI
Update the Wallet System for WooCommerce plugin to version 2.7.10 or later immediately; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed by WPScan's advisory (https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/fc818fa4-5daa-430f-82da-0c96ec531ca3/). As an immediate compensating control while patching is being coordinated, store administrators should disable the wallet payment method in WooCommerce checkout settings (WooCommerce > Settings > Payments), which eliminates the vulnerable code path entirely - the trade-off is that legitimate customers cannot redeem existing wallet balances until the update is applied. Additionally, reviewing WooCommerce order history for zero-value or anomalously discounted completed orders paid via wallet can help identify whether exploitation has already occurred, enabling merchant dispute or fraud remediation. Given the public availability of a proof-of-concept exploit reported by WPScan, treat this as an urgent patch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Wallet System for WooCommerce plugin extends the WooCommerce e-commerce platform (running on WordPress) by providing a digital wallet feature: customers preload a credit balance and apply it toward checkout payments. The root cause is missing server-side balance validation during the checkout flow - when a customer submits a checkout POST request specifying a wallet deduction amount, the plugin accepts that attacker-controlled value without comparing it to the balance actually stored in the database. This is a classic business logic error (analogous to CWE-20 Improper Input Validation or CWE-840 Business Logic Errors, though no CWE is formally assigned in NVD data for this entry). The affected product scope is confirmed via CPE cpe:2.3:a:unknown:wallet_system_for_woocommerce:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all versions from 0 up to but not including 2.7.10, as corroborated by EUVD-2026-57171. Notably, the source intelligence tags this as 'Information Disclosure,' which appears to be a misclassification - the CVSS vector explicitly assigns C:N and the description involves payment bypass, not data leakage.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
The Wallet System for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 2.7.10 does not validate a user-supplied wallet amount against the customer's actual stored balance during checkout, allowing authenticated customers to arbitrarily reduce their own order total, including down to zero, and complete checkout without paying the merchant.
