Impact
The Cryptocurrency Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress suffers from a missing capability check in the 'handle_optin_optout' function, allowing unauthenticated users to toggle tracking opt‑in status. This flaw enables attackers to alter plugin configuration data without permission, exposing sensitive user tracking preferences. The weakness is classified as CWE-862, representing a lack of proper access control.
Affected Systems
All WordPress sites that have installed the Tripleatechnology Cryptocurrency Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin, version 2.0.25 or earlier, are affected. Sites running the plugin on any WooCommerce installation up to the stated version are vulnerable until an update is applied.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low likelihood of widespread exploitation at this time. The flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is via the publicly accessible plugin endpoint that handles opt‑in/out requests, meaning an attacker can exploit this issue without authentication or an existing WordPress session.
