Authenticated guest-order disclosure via capability bypass
Published Dec 22, 2025 · Updated Dec 22, 2025
Authorization bypass in the WooCommerce Store API allows remote authenticated users to read guest customers' order data by order ID. The authorization path grants pay-for-order capability on ownerless orders and skips order-key and billing-email validation for logged-in users. A customer account and at least one guest order are required; exposed fields include contact and address data, but not card details.
