Published Jan 9, 2026 · Updated Jan 9, 2026
Missing authorization in Amelia 1.2.38 and earlier allows remote attackers to alter payment states and trigger queued notifications via AJAX. Multiple WordPress AJAX action handlers omit capability checks before processing refund, notification-dispatch, and debug operations. No authentication or user interaction is required; consequences are bounded to unauthorized workflow changes and debug-data access.
