Description
The Tamara Checkout WordPress plugin through 1.9.9.20 does not verify the order key, a nonce, or any capability on its public payment cancel/fail return URLs, changing a WooCommerce order's status based solely on an attacker-supplied numeric order id, so an unauthenticated attacker can cancel or fail arbitrary orders store-wide by enumerating ids (triggering downstream stock-release and notification side-effects).

AI Analysis

Impact

The Tamara Checkout WordPress plugin allows an unauthenticated attacker to change a WooCommerce order’s status by supplying only a numeric order id. Because the plugin does not validate the order key, nonce, or user capabilities on its public cancel or fail return URLs, an attacker can instruct the system to cancel or fail any order. This action triggers downstream effects such as automatic stock release and order notification emails, potentially impacting inventory accuracy and customer experience. The weakness stems from improper authorization control, enabling unauthorized order manipulation without authentication.

Affected Systems

Tamara Checkout WordPress plugin versions 1.9.9.20 and earlier.

Risk and Exploitability

Attackers can manipulate order statuses without authentication, with the risk dependent on the ability to enumerate order IDs. The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates a moderate impact, and the EPSS score of < 1% suggests a low likelihood of exploitation, but the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Even though no public exploits are known, the straightforward nature of the flaw and its side‑effects make it a high‑value target.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Tamara Checkout to version 1.9.9.21 or later to receive the vendor fix for the missing order key and nonce validation
  • If an upgrade is not possible immediately, restrict public access to the cancel/fail return URLs by requiring authentication or disabling the endpoints via .htaccess or a security plugin
  • Audit order logs for any unauthorized status changes and coordinate with the platform owner to verify that no inventory or notification side‑effects were triggered by suspicious cancellations
