What the vulnerability does
01Description
The PAYGENT for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.6. This is due to missing authorization checks on the paygent_check_webhook function combined with the paygent_permission_callback function unconditionally returning true on line 199. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to manipulate payment callbacks and modify order statuses by sending forged payment notifications via the `/wp-json/paygent/v1/check/` endpoint.
Explanation of Vulnerability in Simple Terms
02Summary
PAYGENT for WooCommerce versions 2.4.6 and earlier lack proper authorization checks, allowing unauthenticated attackers to modify data through the plugin. The vulnerability requires only network access and no user interaction. Site owners should update to a version newer than 2.4.6 to prevent unauthorized modifications.
