Published: Wed Jan 07 2026 (01/07/2026, 06:36:03 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: ipaymu
Product: iPaymu Payment Gateway for WooCommerce

Description

The iPaymu Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Missing Authentication in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.2 via the 'check_ipaymu_response' function. This is due to the plugin not validating webhook request authenticity through signature verification or origin checks. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to mark WooCommerce orders as paid by sending crafted POST requests to the webhook endpoint without any payment occurring, as well as enumerate order IDs and obtain valid order keys via GET requests, exposing customer order PII including names, addresses, and purchased products.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-0656 is a missing authorization vulnerability (CWE-862) in the iPaymu Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 2.0.2. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not validate webhook request authenticity through signature verification or origin checks in the 'check_ipaymu_response' function. This allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate order payment status by sending crafted POST requests to the webhook endpoint and to enumerate order IDs and obtain valid order keys via GET requests, exposing customer order PII.

Potential Impact

An attacker can mark WooCommerce orders as paid without making any payment, potentially leading to financial loss for merchants. The attacker can also enumerate order IDs and retrieve valid order keys, exposing sensitive customer information including names, addresses, and details of purchased products. There is no indication of availability impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are currently available. Until a patch is released, users should consider disabling the iPaymu Payment Gateway plugin or restricting access to the webhook endpoint to trusted sources if possible. Monitor vendor communications for updates and apply official patches once available.
