Technical details
An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability exists in the Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress (versions up to and including 5.2.9). The flaw, classified as CWE-639, occurs because the application fails to perform adequate authorization checks when a user-controlled input is used to access internal database objects or files. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by modifying parameters in a request to view or interact with data they are not authorized to see, such as sensitive customer or transaction records. The vulnerability is resolved in version 5.3.0.
