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 | Exploitation requires that the target WordPress site has the Deposits and Partial Payments for WooCommerce plugin installed, active, and at version 3.1.0 or earlier. The attack is fully unauthenticated (PR:N) and requires no user interaction. The specific limiting factors are: (1) the site must be running WooCommerce alongside this specific plugin, and (2) the impact is confined to integrity manipulation of deposit/payment-related data rather than full compromise - there is no confidentiality or availability impact per the CVSS vector. No special network position or configuration is required beyond reaching the WordPress AJAX endpoint over HTTP/HTTPS. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.3 (Medium) reflects a network-accessible, zero-complexity, zero-privilege flaw with limited integrity impact and no confidentiality or availability consequence (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N). The practical real-world risk is constrained by the I:L rating - while any unauthenticated actor on the internet can trigger the vulnerable endpoint, the blast radius is bounded to partial payment or deposit state manipulation rather than full site compromise or data exfiltration. No EPSS score was supplied and the vulnerability is absent from the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation at time of analysis. For most WooCommerce store operators, this represents a meaningful but non-critical integrity risk; even a mid-sized municipal IT team in tczew running an e-commerce deployment on this plugin should treat this as a routine patching priority rather than an emergency incident response trigger. The absence of a confirmed fix version in the available data is a minor gap - patch status should be verified directly against the Patchstack advisory and the WordPress plugin repository changelog. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker enumerates or infers the vulnerable WordPress AJAX action name by inspecting the plugin source code or publicly available decompilations, then sends a crafted POST request to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php (or the equivalent REST endpoint) invoking the unprotected action. Because no authorization check exists, the server executes the operation - potentially altering deposit percentages, bypassing partial payment requirements, or modifying order-level payment state - directly on the target WooCommerce store. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 11, 2026
Broken access control in the Deposits and Partial Payments for WooCommerce plugin (MagePeople Team) versions up to and including 3.1.0 allows unauthenticated network attackers to perform unauthorized integrity-impacting actions on deposit and partial payment functionality. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), meaning certain plugin endpoints or AJAX actions execute restricted operations without validating whether the caller has permission to do so. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
RemediationAI
Update the Deposits and Partial Payments for WooCommerce plugin to a version above 3.1.0 via the WordPress plugin dashboard or by downloading directly from the WordPress plugin repository. The Patchstack advisory at the reference URL should be consulted to confirm the exact patched version number, as the input data does not specify it. As a temporary compensating control if immediate update is not possible, site administrators can deactivate the plugin entirely to eliminate the attack surface, at the cost of losing deposit and partial payment checkout functionality. Restricting access to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php via firewall or WAF rules is not a reliable standalone mitigation since nopriv AJAX calls are a core WordPress mechanism used by many legitimate plugins.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected product is a WordPress plugin developed by MagePeople Team, extending WooCommerce with deposit and partial payment capabilities for e-commerce checkouts. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:magepeopleteam:deposits_and_partial_payments_for_woocommerce:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the vendor and plugin scope. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates that one or more server-side handlers - likely WordPress AJAX nopriv hooks or REST API endpoints - execute sensitive actions (such as modifying deposit settings, amounts, or order-related payment state) without calling WordPress capability checks (e.g., current_user_can()) before processing the request. This class of flaw is common in WooCommerce plugin development where developers register nopriv AJAX actions for unauthenticated guests but fail to gate write operations behind authorization logic.
