Technical details

The check_post_permissions() method in includes/api/class-getpaid-rest-posts-controller.php enforces generic WordPress post capabilities instead of the plugin's manage_invoicing permission, allowing privilege escalation through REST API abuse. Authenticated users with lower-privileged roles can exploit this to enumerate invoices, modify payment status, and create items without proper authorization. A fix is available in version 2.8.63 and later.
