AI-suggested
Users of the SKT PayPal for WooCommerce plugin should monitor the vendor's advisories for updates. Until a fix is available, consider disabling the plugin or using alternative payment processing solutions that enforce server-side payment validation. Avoid relying on client-side controls for critical security functions such as payment verification.
Description
The SKT PayPal for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Payment Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 1.4. This is due to the plugin only enforcing client side controls instead of server-side controls when processing payments. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to make confirmed purchases without actually paying for them.
