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: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

AI-suggested

Users should upgrade the Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce plugin and any companion plugins to version 3.2.10 or later once available. Until then, consider restricting authenticated user permissions or disabling the gift card redemption feature if feasible.

Description

The Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 3.2.10 does not verify that the user redeeming a gift card is its intended recipient, allowing any authenticated user, such as a subscriber, to redeem gift cards belonging to other users, zeroing their balance and crediting the value to themselves. In 3.2.9 an ownership check was added on one of the two affected redemption paths; the one that remains requires a companion Ultimate Gift Cards for WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 3.2.10 from the same vendor to be active.

Impact

An attacker with any authenticated user account can redeem gift cards assigned to other users, effectively stealing their gift card balances. This leads to unauthorized financial loss for legitimate users and potential revenue loss for merchants using the plugin.

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.
