The FundPress – WordPress Donation Plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in versions up to and including 2.0.8. This is due to missing authorization and nonce verification in the donate_action_status() AJAX handler, which is registered to be accessible to unauthenticated users via wp_ajax_nopriv. The function only validates that the schema parameter equals 'donate-ajax' and that the required POST parameters are present, but fails to verify user capabilities, nonce tokens, or donation ownership. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to modify the status of any donation by providing its ID (which are sequential integers and easily enumerable), allowing them to mark donations as completed, pending, cancelled, or any arbitrary status, potentially triggering email notifications and related side effects.

The Masteriyo LMS – Online Course Builder for eLearning, LMS & Education plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in versions up to and including 2.1.7. This is due to insufficient webhook signature verification in the handle_webhook() function. The webhook endpoint processes unauthenticated requests and only performs signature verification if both the webhook_secret setting is configured AND the HTTP_STRIPE_SIGNATURE header is present. Since webhook_secret defaults to an empty string, the webhook processes attacker-controlled JSON payloads without any verification. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to send fake Stripe webhook events with arbitrary order_id values in the metadata, mark any order as completed without payment, and gain unauthorized access to paid course content.

The RegistrationMagic – Custom Registration Forms, User Registration, Payment, and User Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to payment bypass due to insufficient verification of data authenticity on the 'process_paypal_sdk_payment' function in all versions up to, and including, 6.0.6.9. This is due to the plugin trusting client-supplied values for payment verification without validating that the payment actually went through PayPal. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass paid registration by manipulating payment status and activating their account without completing a real PayPal payment.

The BlueSnap Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authorization in all versions up to, and including, 3.4.0. This is due to the plugin relying on WooCommerce's `WC_Geolocation::get_ip_address()` function to validate IPN requests, which trusts user-controllable headers like X-Real-IP and X-Forwarded-For to determine the client IP address. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to bypass IP allowlist restrictions by spoofing a whitelisted BlueSnap IP address and send forged IPN (Instant Payment Notification) data to manipulate order statuses (mark orders as paid, failed, refunded, or on-hold) without proper authorization.

The Fortis for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass due to an inverted nonce check in the 'check_fortis_notify_response' function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update arbitrary WooCommerce order statuses to paid/processing/completed, effectively allowing them to mark orders as paid without payment.
