| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires only that the target WooCommerce site has the 'Pay With MetaMask For WooCommerce - Cryptocurrency Payment Gateway' plugin installed at version 1.7.2 or earlier and reachable over the network; per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) no authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is required beyond the plugin being active. Limiting factors: the attack surface exists ONLY on sites running this specific plugin (a niche crypto-payment gateway, so overall exposure is small), impact is confined to integrity (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect, and the input does not name the exact bypassed feature/endpoint - the precise trigger should be confirmed against the Patchstack advisory before assuming payment-status forgery. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and skew toward moderate, not high priority. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, indicating remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation - attractive characteristics - but impact is constrained to C:N/I:L/A:N, i.e. a limited integrity effect only, no confidentiality or availability loss and no scope change (S:U). CWE-345 (insufficient verification of data authenticity) combined with the 'bypass' label most plausibly points to a payment/authenticity verification weakness in the gateway rather than full account or site takeover, which is consistent with the low integrity-only impact. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided, so there is no evidence of active exploitation or weaponization. The exposure is therefore 'easy to reach but low-consequence per event.' Key missing data to note explicitly: no EPSS probability is supplied, so likelihood-of-exploitation cannot be quantified; the Patchstack reference is the sole source and the description does not specify the exact bypassed mechanism, so the precise security impact (e.g. whether order payment status can be forged) should be verified with the vendor/Patchstack advisory. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A remote, unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request to a WooCommerce store running the vulnerable Pay With MetaMask plugin (<= 1.7.2), abusing the plugin's insufficient verification of data authenticity (CWE-345) to bypass an intended check. Given AV:N/AC:L/PR:N and integrity-limited impact (I:L), the realistic outcome is manipulation of a plugin-controlled state - most plausibly forging or bypassing payment/transaction verification - rather than data theft or service disruption. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 10, 2026
An unauthenticated bypass in the 'Pay With MetaMask For WooCommerce - Cryptocurrency Payment Gateway' WordPress plugin (all versions up to and including 1.7.2) lets remote attackers circumvent the plugin's authenticity/verification checks, altering limited aspects of application state without logging in, per CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N. Because the vector carries PR:N and UI:N, unauthenticated remote attackers can trigger the flaw on any site where the plugin is active, but the impact is confined to integrity only (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability effect, keeping this a moderate-severity issue rather than a critical one. No CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code were identified at time of analysis, and no EPSS signal was supplied; the affected population is limited to WordPress/WooCommerce sites running this niche cryptocurrency payment gateway.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version is identified in the provided data, so the exact fixed release cannot be cited and should be confirmed on the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/cryptocurrency-payments-using-metamask-for-woocommerce/vulnerability/wordpress-pay-with-metamask-for-woocommerce-cryptocurrency-payment-gateway-plugin-1-7-2-bypass-vulnerability-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) before upgrading. Until a fixed version is confirmed, the most direct compensating control is to deactivate and remove the 'Pay With MetaMask For WooCommerce' plugin from any site that is not actively using MetaMask cryptocurrency payments; the trade-off is loss of that payment method at checkout. If the gateway must remain live, restrict access to the plugin's payment/callback endpoints at the web server or WAF so that only expected MetaMask/WooCommerce traffic can reach them, and manually reconcile crypto payment statuses against on-chain records rather than trusting plugin-reported state, accepting the added operational overhead and risk of false positives. Because exploitation requires no authentication or user interaction, routine hardening such as disabling unused plugins, keeping WordPress, WooCommerce and all extensions current, and monitoring for unsolicited payment-status changes is warranted, but note that none of these measures substitutes for the vendor fix, which was not confirmed as available at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is catalogued as CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity) and sits in the WordPress plugin 'Pay With MetaMask For WooCommerce - Cryptocurrency Payment Gateway' published by narinder_singh, matching the CPE cpe:2.3:a:narinder_singh:pay_with_metamask_for_woocommerce_-_cryptocurrency_payment_gateway:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. At a technical level the plugin bridges WooCommerce checkout with MetaMask wallet-based cryptocurrency payments, which means it must validate data arriving from an untrusted client (wallet addresses, transaction hashes, callback/return parameters, or payment-status state) against an authoritative source. CWE-345 indicates that one of those validation steps is missing or can be short-circuited, so a request that should have been rejected as unauthenticated or unverified is instead accepted, allowing state manipulation up to the I:L limit captured in the CVSS vector. The published input does not identify the exact bypassed endpoint or parameter, so the precise trigger (for example, forged payment-status confirmation versus a skipped nonce/signature check) should be confirmed against the Patchstack advisory before assuming payment-status forgery. WordPress plugin code runs in the web-application layer with typical network reachability, and the assessment records no privileges, user interaction, or special configuration required beyond the plugin being installed and active.
