What the vulnerability does
01Description
The WooCommerce PayPal Payments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Disclosure due to an Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.2 via the `enqueue_paypal_insights_script_on_order_received()` function due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to obtain sensitive order information including order keys, which can then be leveraged to access full customer billing details (name, email, phone, address) via the WooCommerce Store API within a 10-minute grace period after order creation.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
02Summary
WooCommerce PayPal Payments versions up to 3.3.2 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to read sensitive payment information without authentication. The flaw stems from improper validation of user-controlled authorization keys, enabling unauthorized access to transaction data. Site administrators should update to a version newer than 3.3.2 immediately.
