Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: High: There is total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all resources within the impacted component being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is available, restrict user roles to trusted individuals only and consider disabling or restricting access to the affected AJAX handler if possible. Implementing custom capability checks or nonce verification on the InspectOrder() AJAX handler can mitigate the issue.

Description

The Woo PDF Invoice Builder plugin (also distributed as "PDF Builder for WooCommerce") for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.8. This is due to the InspectOrder() AJAX handler (woocommerce-pdf-invoice-ajax.php:513), registered on wp_ajax_rednao_wcpdfinv_inspect_order, performing no capability check and no nonce verification before loading an arbitrary order by the attacker-supplied 'OrderNumber' POST field and serializing its full WC_Order::get_data() and meta to the response. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to read every WooCommerce order on the site — including billing/shipping address, email, phone number, payment method, gateway transaction ID, and order totals — by iterating order IDs.

Impact

An attacker with minimal authenticated access (Subscriber role or above) can read sensitive customer and order information for all WooCommerce orders on the affected site. This includes personally identifiable information (billing/shipping addresses, emails, phone numbers), payment method details, gateway transaction IDs, and order totals. The vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data, but the confidentiality breach can lead to privacy violations and potential further attacks based on exposed data.

Summary

CVE-2026-11496 is an insecure direct object reference vulnerability in the Woo PDF Invoice Builder plugin for WooCommerce (versions <= 2.0.8). The InspectOrder() AJAX handler (located in woocommerce-pdf-invoice-ajax.php at line 513) is registered on the wp_ajax_rednao_wcpdfinv_inspect_order hook and does not perform any capability or nonce verification. This allows authenticated users with Subscriber-level privileges or higher to supply arbitrary order IDs via the 'OrderNumber' POST parameter and receive serialized order data including sensitive customer and transaction details. The vulnerability exposes full WC_Order::get_data() and meta information for any order on the site.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #4OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
