CVE-2026-12966 Details
Description
The Direct Payments for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 2.5.3 does not verify that the requester owns the targeted WooCommerce order in several unauthenticated AJAX handlers before changing its status and overwriting its payment metadata, allowing unauthenticated attackers to tamper with other customers' orders, including forging a "payment sent" state, overwriting the payment-method label, and attaching forged payment-proof files.
A vulnerability exists in the Direct Payments for WooCommerce WordPress plugin in versions prior to 2.5.3. The issue arises because the plugin's unauthenticated AJAX handlers do not properly verify that the requester owns the targeted WooCommerce order before modifying its status and payment metadata. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to interfere with other customers' orders by, for example, falsifying a 'payment sent' status, changing the payment method label, and uploading fake payment proof files.
Users are advised to update the Direct Payments for WooCommerce WordPress plugin to version 2.5.3 or later.
