Technical details

The plugin's REST orders collection endpoint fails to properly scope records to the requesting user, allowing any authenticated subscriber to enumerate and read all customer orders and payment records via an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability. The flaw was introduced in version 8.9.1 after being correctly scoped in 8.8.1, affecting versions 8.5 through 8.9.4. An attacker needs only subscriber-level authentication to exploit the vulnerability.
