Technical details

The plugin fails to validate which order fields authenticated users can modify, allowing customers to directly alter the order status field via API requests. Any user with a self-registerable account can change their own unpaid order to a paid or fulfilled state, bypassing payment validation. This is fixed in version 4.22.1.
