Technical details
The WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway plugin is vulnerable to an authorization bypass due to a missing capability check on the `ajax_pay_for_order()` function within the `wc_stripe_pay_for_order` WC-AJAX endpoint. While the function validates a nonce, it fails to verify order ownership or the `order_key`. This allows unauthenticated attackers to use sequential order ID enumeration and provide fake payment methods to trigger payment exceptions. These exceptions force the target order's status to 'failed'. The vulnerability is patched in version 10.8.0.
