Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as a Missing Authorization (CWE-284) flaw within an order-management REST API endpoint. Specifically, the plugin fails to verify the permissions of the requester when accessing endpoints related to PayPal order processing. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send crafted HTTP requests to these endpoints to change the status of existing orders. This could be used to bypass payment verification or disrupt business logic. The issue is resolved in version 5.29.0.1.
