Description
The Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 2.0.26 does not validate the order key before adding order data to the JavaScript configuration it outputs on the front end, allowing unauthenticated users to obtain the secret that gates access to any order and, through it, that customer's billing and shipping details, by iterating sequential order identifiers.

Impact

A WordPress plugin for PayPal WooCommerce fails to validate the order key before exposing order data in JavaScript that is rendered on the front end. An unauthenticated user can learn the secret that protects each order by iterating sequential order identifiers, and then access billing and shipping details for that customer. The primary impact is the disclosure of personally identifiable information to anyone who can trigger the vulnerable endpoint.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce WordPress plugin for any version prior to 2.0.26. Users running the plugin on their WooCommerce sites are at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 5.3, but the exploit is considered trivial: it requires only a web browser and access to the order‑pay URL. The EPSS score is < 1%, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be network, likely from any external host that can reach the site, because no authentication is required. Exploitation is straightforward and can be repeated via sequential order IDs.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce plugin to version 2.0.26 or later, which validates the order key before rendering configuration data on the front end.
  • If upgrading immediately is not possible, block or restrict access to the order-pay endpoint so that only authenticated administrators can reach it.
  • Implement input validation or add a check that ensures the order key is associated with the logged‑in customer before any order data is included in JavaScript.
