CVE-2026-80340: CWE-200 Information Exposure in Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce
The Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce WordPress plugin before 2.0.26 does not validate the order key before adding order data to the JavaScript configuration it outputs on the front end, allowing unauthenticated users to obtain the secret that gates access to any order and, through it, that customer's billing and shipping details, by iterating sequential order identifiers.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Payment Plugins for PayPal WooCommerce WordPress plugin prior to version 2.0.26 suffers from an information exposure vulnerability (CWE-200). The plugin fails to validate the order key before including order data in the JavaScript configuration output on the frontend. This flaw enables unauthenticated attackers to iterate through sequential order IDs and obtain the secret key that controls access to any order. Consequently, attackers can access sensitive customer information such as billing and shipping details.
Potential Impact
An attacker can obtain sensitive customer information including billing and shipping details without authentication by exploiting the lack of order key validation. This exposure of personal data can lead to privacy violations and potential misuse of customer information.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Users should monitor the vendor's official channels for updates and apply any released patches promptly. Until a fix is available, consider restricting access to order-related frontend data or implementing additional validation controls if possible.
