CVE-2026-121993: wePOS authorization bypass in payment processing

CVE-2026-121993 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4.3 · Published 2026-11-04

wePOS is a point-of-sale system for WooCommerce that processes orders and payments. A flaw in its payment processing endpoint allows vendor-level staff to fraudulently mark arbitrary orders as paid and completed without actually receiving payment, potentially allowing them to manipulate stock levels, complete orders for competitors, or trigger order fulfillment for orders they do not own.

Vendors: Dokan.

Technical details

The wepos/v1/payment/process REST endpoint fails to verify that a vendor can only process payment for orders they own; it only checks for the publish_shop_orders capability, which is granted to Dokan vendors and staff. An authenticated vendor can pass any order ID to trigger order completion, stock reduction, and payment-access grants without authorization scoping. The vulnerability is fixed by resolving the order in the permission callback and restricting vendors to only their own orders.
