Description
The Wava Payment Plugin WordPress plugin before 0.3.10 does not perform any authorisation, nonce or origin verification on one of its public REST endpoints, allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the stored credential that identifies the merchant account the store's payments are created against, to force the integration into a verified state the site owner never completed, and to remove the payment method from the store's checkout.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Wava Payment Plugin for WordPress, versions 0.3.1 through 0.3.9, contains a missing authorization, nonce, and origin verification on a public REST endpoint that allows an unauthenticated attacker to overwrite the stored merchant credential. This can force the site into a verified merchant state that the owner never approved and can also remove the payment method from checkout, potentially leading to loss of revenue and unauthorized access to payment funds.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include WordPress sites using the Wava Payment Plugin version 0.3.1 up to 0.3.9. The bug is fixed in 0.3.10 and newer releases. No other vendor or product is listed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is any unauthenticated request to the vulnerable REST endpoint, meaning that any internet‑connected user can exploit it without authentication or privilege. Because the plugin performs no authorization checks, an attacker can persistently change merchant credentials and remove payment methods, thereby compromising the integrity and availability of the payment process on the affected site.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Wava Payment Plugin to version 0.3.10 or later, which implements proper authorization checks on the REST endpoint.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, restrict access to the vulnerable REST endpoint by IP whitelist or internal network restriction so that only authenticated or trusted traffic can reach it.
  • Verify any merchant credentials that may have been altered and reconfigure them to the correct values to restore intended payment functionality.
