CVE-2026-12966

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Direct Payments for WooCommerce versions prior to 2.5.3

Description Several unauthenticated AJAX handlers fail to verify if the requester owns the targeted WooCommerce order before modifying its status and overwriting payment metadata. This allows unauthenticated attackers to tamper with orders belonging to other customers, which includes forging a payment sent state, overwriting the payment-method label, and attaching forged payment-proof files.

Recommendations Update Direct Payments for WooCommerce to version 2.5.3 or later.
