The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

The target must be a WordPress/WooCommerce site with the VillaTheme GIFT4U (gift4u-gift-cards-all-in-one-for-woo) plugin installed and active at version 1.1.3 or earlier. Per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N), no authentication or user interaction is required and the flaw is reachable against default configurations - the plugin simply fails to enforce an authorization check on a restricted function. The main limiting factor is impact scope: only integrity is affected (VC:N/VI:L/VA:N), so an attacker can tamper with limited gift-card-related data but cannot read confidential data or take the site offline; exploitation also requires the plugin to be present, which narrows the exposed population to GIFT4U users specifically.

Impact

This is a medium-severity missing-authorization flaw (CWE-862) in the VillaTheme GIFT4U WooCommerce plugin, versions up to 1.1.3. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring no privileges and no user interaction, but with impact limited to low integrity only - no confidentiality or availability impact - which is consistent with a broken-access-control issue that lets an unauthorized actor modify or trigger a restricted function rather than steal data or crash the site. The 6.9 score reflects this bounded impact. No EPSS probability, no CISA KEV listing, and no proof-of-concept are present in the supplied data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; exploitation is theoretically easy (unauthenticated, remote) but the real-world payoff is constrained by the integrity-only impact. Net assessment: a genuine but not top-tier priority - patch during normal cycles for sites running this plugin, prioritizing e-commerce stores where gift-card integrity matters. No signals conflict, though the absence of EPSS/KEV/POC data means exploitation likelihood is unquantified rather than confirmed-low.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request directly to a GIFT4U plugin endpoint that fails to verify the caller's authorization, allowing them to invoke a gift-card management action they should not have access to. Because the CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, no login, user interaction, or special timing is needed, but impact is confined to integrity (VC:N/VI:L/VA:N), so the attacker can tamper with limited plugin data rather than read sensitive data or disrupt the site. No public proof-of-concept is identified in the available data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026

Missing authorization in VillaTheme GIFT4U (gift4u-gift-cards-all-in-one-for-woo) versions 1.1.3 and earlier allows unauthenticated remote attackers to tamper with limited gift-card-related data on WordPress/WooCommerce sites where the plugin is active. The flaw (CWE-862) stems from the plugin failing to enforce an access-control check on a restricted function, and per the CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is required. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and the impact is limited to integrity (VI:L) with no confidentiality or availability impact, resulting in a medium-severity rating.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and no exact fixed version is provided in the available intelligence. If GIFT4U is not essential, deactivate and remove the plugin - this fully eliminates exposure but removes gift-card features. If it must remain active, consider a virtual patching/WAF rule that blocks unauthenticated requests to the plugin's gift-card endpoints (e.g., admin-ajax.php actions or REST routes used by GIFT4U), though this may break legitimate customer-initiated gift-card operations or frontend redemption workflows. Restrict access to plugin-specific endpoints to trusted roles or IP ranges where feasible, and monitor gift-card data for unexpected modifications. Consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/gift4u-gift-cards-all-in-one-for-woo/vulnerability/wordpress-gift4u-plugin-1-1-3-broken-access-control-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the vendor for updates; apply vendor patches as soon as they become available.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability resides in the VillaTheme GIFT4U plugin for WordPress, which provides gift card functionality for WooCommerce stores. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:villatheme:gift4u:* confirms all versions up to 1.1.3 are in scope. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) indicates the plugin registers an action, AJAX endpoint, or REST route without properly verifying the caller's capability or nonce, allowing an unauthenticated request to modify gift-card data. The CVSS:4.0 vector provided (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N) and the independent CVSS:3.1 assessment (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N) both agree that the flaw is remotely reachable with no privileges, no user interaction, and low integrity-only impact. The 'Authentication Bypass' tag in the intelligence feed reflects that an attacker can invoke functionality that should be restricted to authorized users, effectively bypassing the intended access control.
