CVE-2026-103525: FluentCart Insecure Direct Object Reference in order data

CVE-2026-103525 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-16

FluentCart is a WordPress plugin for building online stores. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate and retrieve other customers' stored address information—including names, phone numbers, VAT numbers, and legal IDs—by manipulating order and address identifiers in checkout requests. The plugin's rate limit and lack of ownership verification make this practical to exploit at scale.

Vendors: Automattic.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) in the checkout API that fails to validate user control over order_id and billing/shipping_address_id parameters. An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate sequential AUTO_INCREMENT ID pairs and fetch address records without authentication or ownership checks; the weak identity guard comparing attacker-supplied values is bypassable, and the unauthenticated AJAX endpoint only enforces a soft 5-request-per-60-second rate limit rather than authentication.

Affected products

  • Automattic FluentCart up to and including 1.7.0
