Payment Gateway for PayPal on WooCommerce < 9.2.1 - Unauthenticated Payment Bypass via PayPal Advanced Return Handler

Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026 · Assigned by WPScan

Description

The Payment Gateway for PayPal on WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 9.2.1 does not verify that payment actually succeeded before completing an order in its PayPal return handler: it reads attacker-controlled parameters, performs no amount comparison and no order-ownership check, and completes the order even when the server-side gateway verification fails, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to mark arbitrary orders as paid without paying.
