Authenticated order modification via unchecked AJAX authorization
Published Dec 20, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Authorization bypass in WooCommerce Square 3.8.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to modify other users' orders. Multiple AJAX handlers accept user-controlled order identifiers and perform order operations without verifying the caller's capability for the referenced order. Contributor-level access is sufficient, and the bounded consequence is unauthorized modification of another user's order data.
