WordPress Simple PayPal Shopping Cart <= 5.1.3 - Insecure Direct Object Reference via 'quantity'

Published May 1, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The WordPress Simple Shopping Cart plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.3 via the 'process_payment_data' due to missing validation on a user controlled key. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to change the quantity of a product to a negative number, which subtracts the product cost from the total order cost. The attack will only work with Manual Checkout mode, as PayPal and Stripe will not process payments for a negative quantity.
